estEdge Design Fair wrapped its milestone 10th anniversary edition with resounding success,
drawing 9,000 attendees over three days to Santa Monica's Barker Hangar. This year's fair, its
most purpose-driven to date, centered on community resilience, wildfire recovery, and the role
of design in rebuilding Los Angeles after the devastating January fires.
From November 20–22, WestEdge welcomed leading designers, architects, brands, media partners, and
industry organizations for a dynamic celebration of innovation, craftsmanship, and collective impact. The
event showcased more than 150 premier design and furnishings brands across 50,000 square feet, alongside
immersive exhibits, panel discussions, maker showcases, and special activations honoring both design
excellence and community empowerment.
OPENING NIGHT PARTY: A CELEBRATION WITH PURPOSE
The fair opened with its highly anticipated Opening Night Party, where 2,600 guests enjoyed early access
to exhibitors, signature cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and live entertainment, while raising crucial funds for
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles (Habitat LA) and its ReBUILD LA™ Recovery Fund.
Guests also participated in the ReBUILD Room Vignettes auction, featuring one-of-a-kind designer-
created spaces in collaboration with leading brands.
