Linda Lucks, one of the chairs of the Venice Design Series, just announced the six events scheduled for the Fifth Annual Venice Design Series, which will be held in April and May of this year. All monies will go to benefit Venice Community Housing.
“Each of the events in the series combines architecture, art, food, landscape design, and performance for a unique and personal experience,” said Lucks. Here is a first look at the 2019 event line-up taking place in April and May:

It was called Magic Malibu and that it was!
First of the six events for this year’s Venice Design Series was held last Sunday. It was a tour of the Wing House, made from the wing of a 747 aircraft and designed by Venice’s own architect David Hertz. It is high in the Malibu hills and considered one of the 100 most extraordinary houses in the United States.
Linda Lucks and Jay Griffith absolutely do not stop warming the hearts of Venetians and challenging their imaginations. First it was the Home and Garden show that ran in Venice for more than 25 years and brought people from all over California. Now it is the fourth year of the Venice Design Series. One wonders how these two can keep topping themselves.

In addition to touring the house made from a 747, owner Francie Rehwald’s garden or yard consists of the set from the movie King and I. Originally, the land was owned by set designer and designer extraordinaire of many things, Tony Duquette. Duquette had the set moved to his property. His original house burned and he lived in and on the set for years.
The tour included lunch in the King and I set.
David Hertz and his wife Laura Doss-Hertz just bought an old hunting lodge with 40 acres adjoining Rehwald’s Wing House. They plan to do “something” with it. They allowed all to tour their house also.
