TRACY WINS "OPEN AUDITION" CALIFORNIA!

Dunsmore Family Room Tracy's beautiful design for the Dunsmore home in Tarzana was selected from over 300 entries in Architectural Digest's prestigious "Open Audition" for California. Publisher Paige Rense also liked the Shen Residence and the jury is still out on whether or not it will be published. Either way, it's an important win for Tracy, a particular delight for the Dunsmore family and a promise of much more to come. Above right: Tracy's design for the Dunsmore Family Room.

INTERIOR DESIGNER TRACY MURDOCK CHOSEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2008 FENDI CASA GUEST DESIGNER SERIES

The elegant FENDI CASA in Los Angeles was even more chic than usual on June 26, when many of LA's business and celebrity elite came to celebrate Tracy Murdock's bold and luxurious new installation.

FENDI CASA, the home design collection for the international luxury brand, will be featuring a guest interior designer every month, and Tracy was selected as the featured designer for the month of June at the Robertson Boulevard showroom.

Tracy Murdock for FENDI CASAEach guest decorator will be provided an area within the showrooms -- at both the Miami and Los Angeles locations -- to create personalized interiors in which to showcase the artists' own aesthetics by drawing from the vast and stylish furniture and accessory lines by Fendi Casa. The launching of each month's designer showcase will be preceded by a special by-invitation-only event. At the end of the year, a 2008 Designer of the Year award will be presented to the most popular design. This innovative program with its noted Designers began in January of this year and promises to add yet another dimension to the acclaimed Italian design maison.

The gracious sponsors for the June event for FENDI CASA were LUXE Magazine and the Moet Hennessy brands Veuve Cliquot Champagne and Chopin Vodka.

Tracy Murdock - Tables of Ten

Tracy Murdock - Tables of Ten SettingPACIFIC DESIGN CENTER:
TABLES OF TEN

Tracy was one of the brightest stars of The Avenues of Art & Design and Pacific Design Center's Tables of Ten: Dining for a Cause, a dynamic culinary arts and design event. Gathering for one special night, a select group of world-renowned designers, showrooms, restaurateurs and chefs united to create a unique dining experience.

From LA's The Place website: "I met with Tracy Murdock, designer for the table of Chef Helene An of Beverly Hill’s Crustacean restaurant. “Elizabeth An (CEO and sister to Chef Helene) and I have been long time friends and when I heard about this benefit, I knew immediately I wanted to be a part of it. I chose to do a tabletop design “homage” to the late interior design legend Tony Duquette”.

Duquette is known for his over-the-top style in interiors, jewelry, costumes, and set design. Tracy calls her table a “shellfish story,” pieced together with lobster sculptures, coral designs, rickshaw bookends, Chinese figurines and abalone shellfish blending the Asian/European flair that mirrors the ambiance of Crustacean. Chef Helene prepared her first course baby zucchini flower filled with lobster mousse and endive soup, jumbo tiger prawn with An’s garlic noodles and for the third course, steam sea bass with ginger, pineapple sauce and garlic rice. For dessert, apple sorbet with pistachio cake. A perfect match for the event!"
