    It’s been a tumultuous year -- protests, economic instability, and the continuing shake-up of creative industries by the online world. So who better to turn to for reassurance than a couple with conviction about life and style? We'll hear from two wise men, Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan. Plus, Marty Kaplan on the protests and the rebirth of public space; and Marissa Gluck, Alissa Walker, Haily Zaki and Erin Cullerton share de LaB’s recommendations for LA-made design.
