About Dragonette
Our History
Since 1997, Dragonette Ltd. has remained an esteemed and celebrated source for interior design expertise and high-end, mid 20th-century furniture, art, and accessories. Under the guidance of Patrick Dragonette, the team at Dragonette Ltd. has served prestigious clientele throughout Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and across the country.
Originally a student of theater arts, Patrick has cultivated an eye for excellence in art and design and serves as an innovative and thorough tastemaker for clients and customers. Patrick is also a well-versed student of William Haines and offers the most extensive collection of Haines’ work on the market.
Now located in Palm Desert, California on El Paseo, the desert’s upscale shopping destination, Dragonette Ltd.’s offerings have expanded in recent years to include Dragonette Private Label, a bespoke collection of home furnishings designed by Patrick. In addition, Dragonette Limited also offers designer vintage jewelry, including couture costume and runway pieces from the 1980s/’90s.
Patrick Dragonette also provides full-service interior design and has helmed several prominent commissions, including the orchestration of an astonishing collection of mid-century pieces for a Hal Levitt house in Trousdale Estates.
“My approach,” says Dragonette, “is to seek simplicity of shape and design, matched by genuine comfort.”
