DESIGN WEST HOLLYWOOD RETURNS FOR ITS SECOND EDITION WITH THE THEME “MAGICAL THINKING” 

Programming Will Explore How Imagination Shapes the Next Era of Design

The West Hollywood Design District, in collaboration with producers Kelsey Dodson-Smith and Jo Campbell Fujii, and LUXE Interiors + Design are proud to announce the second edition of Design West Hollywood. Celebrating the district's iconic legacy of creativity, community, and cultural influence, Design West Hollywood returns this fall from September 29 to October 1, 2026.  

The 2026 edition will unite leading voices across interiors, hospitality, architecture, art, entertainment, culture, and fashion to explore this year’s theme: “Magical Thinking.” Brought to life through diverse creative lenses, the theme asks participants to consider how imagination and innovation shape the future of design.

Over three immersive days, attendees will experience a curated program of keynote conversations, panels, exhibitions, and exclusive gatherings. Created to both inform and inspire, the events will offer meaningful opportunities for industry leaders, emerging talent, and design enthusiasts alike.
