For devotees of Patrick Dragonette’s famed design showroom, that will soon mean a drive to Palm Desert, a short distance from the glitzy bejeweled coconut cocktail that is Palm Springs. Of course, Dragonette’s trove of mid-20th-century pieces (and his private-label collection) will still be available online. But for La Cienega, a street that’s had its fair share of big design departures, the move feels significant. The showroom’s future location on El Paseo, Palm Desert’s retail high-street, gives Dragonette the opportunity to think more broadly, the designer tells Business of Home.
