DESIGN ADAC Keynote Event: “The Sanctuary of Nature: Indoors and Out”

The natural world is at the center of good design. This panel will explore the critical role that the local environment plays in shaping thoughtful, beautiful spaces that stand the test of time. Los Angeles interior designer Peter Dunham and landscape architect Patricia Benner, also based in Los Angeles, will join VERANDA Executive Editor Ellen McGauley to discuss the powerful role landscape and natural materials play in the buildings and rooms we create, and their collaborations together. Following the presentation, please join Dunham, Benner, and McGauley at the Kolo Collection showroom for a reception and signing of Dunham’s book—"The World of Peter Dunham: Global Style from Paris to Hollywood”—along with highlights of Sunbrella’s outdoor upholstery products across partners. DESIGN ADAC is a three-day event celebrating design excellence, featuring world-class speakers, curated programming, and immersive experiences that blend creativity, culture, and luxury within ADAC’s more than 550,000 SF campus. DESIGN ADAC 2026 is April 21-23.
