Overview WestEdge Design Fair fills Barker Hangar in Santa Monica with more than 150 furniture, kitchen, bath, lighting and outdoor brands every fall, and many of them use it to launch in the region for the first time. It opens on a Thursday night with a party for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, then runs two show days, Friday and Saturday. The fair ran its 10th anniversary edition in November 2025. Barker Hangar is a 35,000-square-foot arched-truss hangar at the Santa Monica Air Center, with a ceiling that rises to 43 feet. On site Exhibitors come from across the US and from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium and the UK. MADE:MODERN, running since 2015, gives limited-production designers and makers small booths with 10-foot white walls. XTERIORS builds outdoor rooms of 600 square feet each, with furniture, grills, umbrellas, fireplaces and lighting. Rising Design shows emerging designers, the Connoisseurs' Club runs as a lounge with its own programs, and the ReBUILD Connect zone works with Team Palisades on Los Angeles wildfire recovery. Main Stage panels run both show days, with more than 45 speakers across the fair, alongside demos and tastings. The hangar is non-union, so exhibitors install their own spaces. Audience The fair counts 68% of its attendees as trade or press: interior designers, architects, landscape designers, set decorators, builders and design students, who get in free on credentials. The fair's prospectus puts homeowners at 85% of attendees, and 39% own more than one home. Track record WestEdge said its 10th anniversary edition in 2025 closed with record attendance. The fair counts 65 partner organizations, among them the Pacific Design Center, NKBA, AIA, KCRW, IIDA and ASID, and reports 72 million-plus media impressions and 72 editorial mentions. The IIDA awards program is part of the fair. Brand presence Past partners have each taken one piece of the fair. Bombay Sapphire sponsored the Opening Night Party, Stella Artois ran the beer tent and central bar, Volvo ran a VIP lounge, Sunbrella outfitted the main lounge, BR Home hosted the educational programming and Design Within Reach made the official tote bag. In 2026 the Main Stage, titled The Future of Living, carried Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home as presenter.
