5 Things We Loved at This Year's WestEdge Design Fair

The ninth edition of WestEdge Design Fair has transformed Santa Monica's Barker Hangar into a carefully curated showcase of modern living. With over 150 premium brands on display, industry panels, and culinary demonstrations, the event offers L.A.'s design enthusiasts an immersive experience in contemporary home furnishings. The Opening Night Party, benefiting the Hollywood Food Coalition, kicked off this year's celebration of innovative design. Here are five standout pieces that caught our eye:

EIS Product's Pebbles collection brings organic sculpture to functional seating. Mimicking the smooth contours of river stones, these versatile pieces work individually or in creative groupings, suitable for both exterior landscapes and commercial interiors.

The Sisyphus kinetic sculpture makes its way from museum galleries to private spaces. A metal ball traces mesmerizing patterns across a sand surface in an endless dance, offering a meditative experience previously reserved for exhibition spaces.
