PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF RETRO VEGAS (SOFA); CHRISTOPHER GUY (PORTRAIT) HAUTE PROPERTY Spotlight 110 VEGASMAGAZINE.COM LAS VEGAS HAS ITS midcentury furnishing treasures, but you'll need to know where to look. This 1950s Midcentury Modern sofa (RIGHT, comes with a love seat) by Folke Ohlsson for Dux ($4,500) came from a local estate and was reupholstered in luxe white tweed. It has the clean design integrity of the era, but the angled lines (and that gorgeously impractical color!) create a softer silhouette. Retro Vegas, 1131 S.

Earlier this year, the company decided to revamp its popu la r show room at t he L a s Vega s Desig n Center, which is open to consumers year-round. The only ques- tion was whether to add on or rebuild. "We agreed that for us to put our best foot forward, let's just rebuild the whole thing," says Jon Spurlock, the brand's visual director. The open layout was scrapped in favor of an intimate experience, with an ent r y way you might expect in an exclusive boutique hotel. The emphasis is on old-school hospitality: Small galleries f lank an "infinity hallway," bookended by mirrors and lit with chandeliers by the Czech designer Lasvit. Naturally, you'll want to come for the furnishings—bold, sumptuous, and elegant—but the showroom is an attraction all its own. As Spurlock puts it, "You enter a site, a scent, a sound, and a feeling that's just uniquely ours." Las Vegas Design Center, 495 S.
