Zephyr Sponsors an Immersive Celebration of Art, Home, and Design at Una Casa Privada
Zephyr was proud to sponsor an unforgettable gathering at Una Casa Privada, a dynamic concept house founded by designer and curator Una Malan. The event celebrated the unveiling of Justina Blakeney’s latest body of work, California Poppy, a deeply personal and visually vibrant series inspired by themes of resilience and rebirth following the devastating Eaton Fire that impacted her Altadena community.
Una Casa Privada is more than a showhouse, it’s a curated experience that blurs the boundaries between home, art, fashion, wellness, and design. At the center of it all is Una Malan herself, a tastemaker known for her refined eye and elevated aesthetic. Through her namesake brand and this beautiful space, Una brings together an inspiring collective of artists, designers, and global artisans to reimagine the way we experience home. With partners like Zephyr, known for innovation in kitchen ventilation and wine & beverage cooling, the collaboration was a natural fit.
Throughout the event, guests moved fluidly through the home’s curated rooms, with the kitchen acting as a key focal point. A Zephyr Chef was stationed in the kitchen, cooking live and showcasing the Lux Connect Island Range Hood in action.
Guests sipped kombucha and champagne served from the Zephyr Presrv® Kegerator and Wine & Beverage Coolers, highlighting how thoughtful kitchen design can elevate everyday living. From performance to presentation, Zephyr brought its signature blend of technology and style to life in an engaging, hands-on way.
The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of California Poppy, Justina Blakeney’s bold and heartfelt new exhibit. Known for her signature style that fuses vibrant color, lush botanicals, and soulful storytelling, Justina’s work was seamlessly integrated throughout Una Casa Privada. These new paintings speak to the beauty and resilience of California’s natural landscape and reflect the artist’s personal story of rebuilding and renewal.
Justina, founder of the beloved lifestyle brand JUNGALOW, is one of today’s most influential voices in interior design. She was recently named to the prestigious AD100 list by Architectural Digest and has collaborated with brands like Target, Barbie, CB2, Kohler, and GE. Her work has appeared in House Beautiful, Vogue Living, and Architectural Digest, and her creative spirit was felt in every corner of the space.
This collaboration between Zephyr, Una Malan, and Justina Blakeney represents the future of design where storytelling, function, and design converge. It was a celebration of not only beautiful products and spaces but also the power of community and shared creative vision. The evening drew an extraordinary crowd of tastemakers, including notable celebrities, authors, and designers such as Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Santigold, Cleo Wade, Sharon Osbourne, Bobby Berk, and more.
Whether you came for the art, the design, the wine (or all three!) this event was a testament to what’s possible when passionate minds come together under one roof. Watch the video below for a insider peek of Justina Blakeney’s Solo Exhibition, California Poppy.
