Following ERA’s summer event series success at the Oviatt Penthouse, RedLight has decided to continue the Era event tradition, moving the party and exposing guests to new vintage gems/ 1920s historic spaces as well as utilizing a bigger venue to entertain more guests. As a great passion of Laskey’s (1920s/1930s historic architecture and design), they with great pleasure are scouting and utilizing additional distinctive period spaces for the ERA party. Nightlife is evolving and ERA was created to revisit this amazing historic time, mesmerizing guests with sites of the architecture, sounds of the vintage and modern live music & DJ, sights of guests decked out in vintage 20s gear, and much much more. This month’s event will feature a live performance, by recording artist Michelle Shaprow and special guest set by DJ Lady Sha & residents the Beat Ventriloquists. This event will also be the official fashion week party for Yotam Solomon. Solomon will be featuring models / an instillation from his  Spring-Summer 2010 “Shinning Through” Collection styled with Jewelry by: “Positively Bold” by Niki Shadrow.

If you got the pleasure of attending ERA and seeing the glory of the Oviatt Penthouse, you will equally love the mesmerizing sites of 1928 building, Campanile (restaurant & event space) on La Brea in the heart of LA, just minutes from Hollywood.

RedLight & SPIN’s original vision for “Era” was to create a summer special event series/ club alternative in the vibe of an authentic 1920’s event; fully embracing the glamour and splendor of the vintage era when the building was erected, with mesmerizing 1920’s art deco architecture, original penthouse furnishings, DJ & amazing live music blending the past with the present, and an artistic and gorgeous crowd urged to dress in cocktail and/or 1920’s theme attire. The guests, friends, clients, fans, response was so great & profound; ERA lives on as a bi-monthly special event at various immaculate 20s locations!

ABOUT CAMPANILE
This charming commercial building was built by Roy Sheldon Price in 1928 for silent screen star Charlie Chaplin and his second wife, Lita Grey Chaplin. The architect, Roy Sheldon Price’s notable achievements include the Beverly Hills home of Mrs. Lita Grey Chaplin in 1930 in the old California Monterey Ranch style. Campanile came into focus in October of 1987. Originally, locations were scouted in New York City’s Soho District. When this building was discovered by Larry Silverton and wife Doris, it was falling apart and full of numerous tenants; a piano school, a car rental office, two artists’ studios and a massage parlor, all of whom agreed to vacate, some only with the understanding that the building would not be destroyed, as some possible buyers were looking to tear it down. Architect Josh Schweitzer came aboard and oversaw the renovation of the building, using every effort to keep it in its original form and beauty. It was brought up to earthquake standards, a roof was added to the courtyard and a wall was built along the sidewalk. But the brick walls, push buttons for lights, iron treatment around the windows, and the tile fountain remained just as they were. Where original tile needed to be replaced they carefully researched and matched the new tile to the old. The name “Campanile”, which means “bell tower” in Italian, was chosen due to the tower above the roof. Although fake, it was part of the original building designed for the Chaplins. Chef Mark Peel, along with former business partners Nancy Silverton and Manfred Krankl, opened the La Brea Bakery on December 31, 1988 and Campanile on June 16, 1989. Campanile’s sun-drenched entrance features a Spanish fountain featuring the famed art of Malibu Tile Company and a spacious bar that opens into the dining area. The center atrium features a casual dining room which offers a view of Campanile’s kitchen and its culinary team led by Chef-Owner Mark Peel. To the back of the restaurant, two private dining & event rooms on the second floor overlook a formal dining room which features an old-world environment.
