Larry Mantle, the host of KPCC's AirTalk and a fourth-generation Angeleno, will moderate.
The Nightingale Floor & Map-a-Porter pop-up | Open now until April 29
The Nightingale Floor is a contemporary reflection on the traditional Japanese flooring technique Uguisu-bari, an acoustic security device against sneaking intruders. The Nightingale Floor installation by Bojána Bányász, Donatella Cusmá and Matthew Gillis. intends to invert this assertion, and becomes an invitation to intrude through tweets of feets and peeves of inks. Don't forget to check out the Map-a-Porter pop-up store of wearables by architecture duo Claret-Cup.
