Steve Halterman, a local set designer and stained glass artist from Joshua Tree, has created a stained glass window to preside over diners at King’s Highway, our roadside diner at Ace Hotel & Swim Club. Steve started designing stained glass inspired by his mother LaVerne, who ran a glass company while Steve was growing up. He’s come to Ace through a partnership with Commune Design (the design firm that we worked with to create Ace Palm Springs), and he works in collaboration this his partner Glen Steigelman and mother LaVerne Halterman. You can see their pretty faces below. The window for the Ace is the largest window they’ve done to date — Steve says they’re thrilled with the opportunity to add to not only a great hotel but to the fantastic community of Palm Springs. The feeling is totally mutual, Steve! Thank you for this amazing gift.
