Favorites from Westedge Design Fair 2016

I can’t believe Westedge Design Fair is already in its 4th year… For the first three years I felt like Westedge was in its infancy—trying to figure out the LA market, what makes sense for attendees, and how to effectively create an exciting show that was a good mix of designers, makers and trade. This year, however, I noticed that it felt more professional, more polished and—most importantly—more diverse. Here are some of the goodies I most enjoyed at the show:
