From Oct. 10–12, Helms Bakery District will partner with Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason, the husband-and-wife team behind the lifestyle brand AphroChic, to bring a curated and “Remixed” Helms Bakery Pop-up Home. The event is open to the public.

With the combination of furnishings from the very own Helms Bakery merchants and Jeanine and Bryan’s fresh and modern aesthetic, this design-savvy couple will reveal their secrets about how to inject one’s own personality and culture into any space to create a style story at home.

Special guests joining the event include interior designer Jeff Andrews and one of the homeowners featured in Jeanine and Bryan’s book, “REMIX: Decorating with Culture, Objects and Soul.” Stop in for a panel discussion, designer meet and greet, a book signing at Arcana: Books on the Arts, inspiration for your new home and so much more!

Partners for the Helms Bakery Pop-Up Home include: Modern LuxuryDomaine Home, Saatchi Art, Tornado Design, The Culver Hotel and Olson Visual.

From 1931 to 1969, Helms Bakery was a world-renowned bakery that made history as well as bread. A great pioneering feat for its time, it quickly became a defining part of Southern California culture, with significant contributions to the local community as well as global history. Helms Bakery today is a Los Angeles historical destination, with award-winning restaurants, a distinctive collection of design, specialty and home furnishings stores, and simply a perfect place to meet with friends. This landmark building nestled in the heart of West L.A. is easy to get to and located just one block east of Culver City’s Expo Line. Join us for a day of food, furniture and fun.
