We’ve all seen the devastation wreaked by Mother Nature in Moore, Oklahoma this week and are heartbroken at the city and county’s losses. Local designer Bernadette Schaeffler is personally touched by the tragedy and is hosting a fundraiser and benefit we hope you will join us in supporting. This Friday, Ms. Schaeffler is opening her Hi Line showroom from 4 pm to 7 pm to support her employee Paige Winburn as she returns to help friends and family in Moore. While visitors on Friday afternoon can make donations on their own, the Bernadette Schaeffler Collection will also be donating 10% of any sale made during the event to the families in Oklahoma.
The flyer with full details is below. The Bernadette Schaeffler Collection is located at 1616 Hi Line Drive in Suite 100 in the Dallas Design District. Hope to see everyone Friday!

Conveniently opened during the Trinity Strand Trail’s construction, Villy Custom Bicycles has recently set up their new warehouse right here in the Design District. In addition to bespoke bicycles and inventive accessories, the funky bike company also has a very unique story.
Fleetwood & Villy
The business, owned by fashion-lover Fleetwood Hicks and named after his dog, DeVille, was mostly funded by superstar investors Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran. In July 2011, Hicks was selected out of 10,000 applicants to appear on ABC’s Shark Tank, and was offered $500,000 by Cuban and Corcoran in exchange for a share in his company. Since then, Hicks has hit the ground running and now has a full online operation as well as an assembly plant in the Design District at 1937 Irving Blvd.

Thursday night is a busy night in the Design District so I’m just going to get right to it. Here are three exciting events happening in the neighborhood for those who want to get out and celebrate.
Laura Lee Clark Grand Opening
The Dallas interior design community doesn’t need an introduction to Laura Lee Clark but we always need an excuse to celebrate and the grand opening of Clark’s new showroom on Slocum is the perfect reason. From 6 to 9 pm on Thursday Laura Lee Clark and company will be celebrating the grand opening of her new 10,000 square foot space as well as her exclusive partnership with luxury furniture and accessories manufacturer Niermann Weeks. Join the festivities where you can enter to win a pair of Niermann Weeks Coronia table lamps while enjoying hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, by RSVP’ing to RSVP@lauraleeclark.com.

This weekend is nothing short of a blockbuster weekend for art openings on Dragon Street and with so many to choose from, it’s going to be difficult to plan your evening. My three can’t-miss shows are below but I’ve tried to include a more complete list of the openings at the bottom. See you on Saturday!
Laura Rathe Fine Art
Laura Rathe Fine Art is still a relative newcomer to the gallery scene of Dragon Street but the gallery continues to host incredible exhibits and their opening on Saturday is no exception. This weekend Laura Rathe hosts an exhibit of the photography of Steve McCurry. While you may not recognize McCurry’s name, you’ll certainly recognize his iconic images which have been featured in National Geographic dozens of times, as well as many other magazines throughout the world. He has an eye for the “unguarded moment” and is internationally famous for his incredibly moving photography of various cultures and landscapes. If you can’t make it Saturday, the gallery is also hosting a lecture and book signing with McCurry on Thursday, May 23rd at 6:30pm. Don’t miss the Dallas debut of this incredibly talented photographer.

Editor’s Note: To erase the misconception that the showrooms and galleries of the neighborhood are open only to the trade, DallasDesignDistrict.com is launching Unveiled. In this weekly series we take you inside the shops, showrooms and galleries of the Design District that are not only open but welcome the public.
Although the Design District is full of art galleries, there are only a few who have stuck with the neighborhood as long as Banks Fine Art. The Banks’ were doing business in the Design District long before doing business in the Design District was cool and here’s hoping they plan on doing it for a long time to come.
If you haven’t met them already, Bob & Malloree Banks are friendly people so walking into their Slocum Street gallery feels like walking into the home of a friend.

“It’s hard to tell what is an antique and what’s not, and that’s precisely the point,” says Melinda Pakzad, one half of the creative brain behind Ebanista. There may not be a better summation of what Ebanista has become known for.
Fari and Melinda Pakzad, the founders of Ebanista have impeccable taste and are more intimately familiar with the needs of the interior designer than most. They’re known in the design world for providing pieces designers can’t find elsewhere and for catering to designers tasked with decorating houses with large spaces such as that tricky foyer wall or over-sized dining room.
Ebanista’s lines of furniture, lighting and art exude luxury and sophistication and while they tend towards a Spanish and Italian influence, take inspiration from throughout Europe. Everything in the product line is hand-carved and finished, imbuing the products with exquisite beauty and energy.

In this weekly series we take you inside the shops, showrooms and galleries of the Design District that are not only open but welcome the public.
The entrance to the Design District at Oaklawn and I-35 can be welcoming but also a little intimidating if you’re unfamiliar with the names of the high-end retailers and showrooms that beckon to the consumer.
For example, at the Northeast corner of Oaklawn and Hi Line sits Ann Sacks and if you’re unsure of what you’ll find inside an Ann Sacks showroom, you’ve come to the right place.
