Menlo Park Design District officially launches at Luminaire
The Menlo Park Design District, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a one-stop destination for home décor and design services on Santa Cruz Avenue, was officially launched last night at Luminaire, a furniture store with a rooftop deck featuring outdoor furnishings.
The 20 founding members of the District (pictured top), began working on the idea in 2021. When asked why then, Elisa Spurlin, owner of the Peabody Gallery and co-organizer of the district, explains: “Watching the rest of the world turn to new forms of collaboration inspired us to do the same. After a few meetings, we quickly realized that we could better serve the public as an integrated destination for design. There are many wonderful reasons to visit downtown Menlo Park, and we are proud that the Menlo Park Design District will be one of them.”
Comprised of existing businesses, the District provides a one-stop destination for interior design, art, and architecture — a place where anyone can come to find the products and experts they need.
