LA Design Festival x DTLB Design District

JUNE 26–29, 2025

DESIGN FUTURISM

Designing What’s Next

Design shapes the future—it’s how we imagine new ways of living, connecting, and creating. Design Futurism invites us to move beyond the spectacle of technology toward human-centered, solution-driven innovation. It’s a practice rooted in possibility: rethinking systems, challenging norms, and designing for collective futures.

Experience the “Community Scent” Pop-Up by Muse Apothecary x Studio One Eleven. Available for purchase at Muse Apothecary’s flagship pop-up, located inside Studio One Eleven in the DTLB Design District. Created in collaboration with Studio One Eleven, this signature scent was originally developed as the Essence of Community for the DTLB Design District—blending coastal air, native botanicals, and creative energy to capture the spirit of Long Beach. Now the official scent of the LA Design Festival, it brings a sense of place and purpose to every space it fills.
