Listen "Mid-Century Magic in the Desert – Palm Springs & Modernism Week"
Episode Synopsis
Palm Springs isn’t just a destination — it’s a design pilgrimage. In this sun-drenched surprise episode of The Design Duet, we take you along on Caroline’s unforgettable trip to the modernist mecca during Modernism Week — the annual celebration of mid-century architecture, design, and culture in February this year. Surrounded by desert landscapes and mountain backdrops, Caroline wandered through neighbourhoods lined with butterfly rooflines, colourful doors, and iconic A-frame facades. From swanky home tours to poolside cocktails, it was a week filled with design inspiration — and we’re sharing every detail with you. In this episode, we explore: · What Modernism Week is — and why it’s a must · What makes Palm Springs so iconic — and who calls it home · Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s eclectic LA home · The cliffside marvel that is the Frey House · Our “Rat Pack Tour” — a walk through Hollywood history · Inside the breathtaking James Logan Abernathy Residence · A visit to the historic Sunnylands Estate · Highlights from the Perez Design District · The magic of stepping inside Frank Sinatra’s house · The vibe check at The Vibe House · The bold beauty of The West House
