It's hard to miss the Pacific Design Center, the top furniture and design market on the west coast. Its three eye-catching buildings - one each in bright blue, red and green - share a 1.6 million square-foot campus in the heart of West Hollywood. It has showrooms for both trade and public, two restaurants operated by Wolfgang Puck, a 380-seat luxury theater for films and receptions, a conference center and plenty of parking. The Elton John AIDS Foundation traditionally holds its multi-million dollar post-Oscar fundraising party at the center.
