It is a sanctuary where memories are created and cherished. In response to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, the design community has come together to help rebuild these sacred spaces. Here are some ways they are lending a hand.
Shannon Wollack of STUDIO LIFE/STYLE is organizing free video calls to connect people with design professionals and experts to provide guidance and support for those affected by the fires.

Designers from across the country have rallied together to contribute to this effort, showcasing the incredible support and solidarity within the design industry.”
Donated goods. The team at House of Honey is collaborating with the local publication California Home+Design to coordinate the influx of donations and establish distribution plans. “The goal is to host ongoing ‘shop days’ where evacuees who do not have the means to purchase furniture and home goods will be able to find a set number of items to make their new residences feel more like home,” the designer explains.
