Design The Room of Your Dreams with Thomas Lavin!

And get your name in front of tastemakers, key decision makers, industry VIPs, and potential clients: The winning design will be showcased to the design world in Thomas Lavin’s third floor kiosk at the Pacific Design Center for three months. And the designer will take home a $500 cash prize and enjoy a lunch with Thomas.

The winning submission will be chosen by an esteemed panel of judges: Thomas himself, Interiors magazine editor-in-chief Erika Heet, and designers Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Jiun Ho, and Madeline Stuart. They will announce the winner in March as part of the PDC’s WESTWEEK celebration (March 20-21). ALL submissions will be on display at the showroom leading up to the finale and be promoted digitally via Thomas Lavin channels

Submissions due Tuesday, February 27!
