Paris Calling this January
Flights are booked, Accommodations sorted, and the daily additions to our agenda have begun!
We can’t wait to return to Paris this January for MAISON&OBJET and Paris Deco Off
Last year we hosted a group of American designers with a VIP experience to MAISON&OBJET and we’ve partnered with our M&O friends again to host a day-long excursion to the fair on Monday, January 21. The day is complimentary for guests as part of our VIP program and you can see details HERE. Space is limited so hop aboard and plan to join us by RSVP’ing to Megan@WestEdgeDesignFair.com.
There is no shortage of events, parties and ways to connect with the American and global design communities while in Paris. We are working with Kneedler Fauchere to stay up to date on all the great happenings taking place. Kneedler Fauchere has been building community and promoting the January events for several years now, and each year seems to attract more and more of our American friends making the trip. Check out the KF website HERE for a list of events so far, including their welcome reception on January 16 and the highly anticipated American Party in Paris party which takes place on Friday, January 18. Get tickets for that HERE.
So many reasons to join us in Paris! And we haven’t even touched on the museums, patisseries and shopping (annual January sales, Mais Oui)… Stay tuned for more as we plan for the trip.
The Other Art Fair LA- October 25-28
WestEdge is pleased to be a partner of Saatchi Art’s THE OTHER ART FAIR LOS ANGELES which opens this evening and runs through Sunday at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
We’re just off the heels of WestEdge but looking forward to taking in The Other Art Fair as visitors this weekend. The event highlights include an immersive installation by guest artist Gary Baseman and special all-female art exhibition “31 Women” curated by Soho House’s Kate Bryan.
Saatchi Art’s The Other Art Fair, a leading international art fair championing emerging and independent contemporary artists, returns October 25-28 at the Santa Monica Barker Hangar, where 130 artists from around the world will showcase their works alongside exclusive new artwork by Guest Artist Gary Baseman and a special all-women exhibition entitled 31 Women.
“The Other Art Fair is non-elitist, fun, democratic and fosters a genuine connection between the public and the artists exhibiting,” said Kate Bryan, arts broadcaster and global Head of Collections for Soho House.
The Other Art Fair Los Angeles will open on Thursday, October 25 with a Private View sponsored by MINI USA. Proceeds from the Private View ticket sales will support ProjectArt, The Other Art Fair Los Angeles’ official non-profit partner, an organization that transforms the nation’s public libraries into vital cultural hubs by offering year-round visual art classes for youth and providing studio spaces for emerging visual artists. The Saatchi Art Talks Program, led by Saatchi Art’s Chief Curator and Selection Committee member Rebecca Wilson, is an engaging speaker series where artists, collectors and cultural influencers will gather to discuss a range of topics relating to the emerging art scene.

JennAir Returns to WestEdge, Bound By Nothing
Old luxury is dead, and the new modern luxe consumer killed it. From the ashes, a new expression of luxury is born — brought to life by JennAir.
Under a reimagined brand ethos, Bound By Nothing™, JennAir challenges the status quo and, in turn, the entire industry to reimagine a limitless world of design. This past March, JennAir revealed the new campaign and introduced RISE™ and NOIR™, two new defiant design expressions with distinct, divergent attitudes. Seizing the throne, tastemakers and media alike celebrated RISE for its beauty and power, while the mysterious NOIR was showcased only to select influencers.
At WestEdge, JennAir continues to peel back the layers of the Bound By Nothing creative expression, showcasing RISE™ and NOIR™ together for the first time. These new offerings, alongside industry-exclusive pieces and an enhanced digital ecosystem that cuts across the entire line of products, showcase the brand’s disruptive design, unparalleled quality, impeccable performance and frictionless connectivity.
JennAir is here to satisfy what the new luxury consumer craves and demands: genuine personal style and bespoke experiences in the home. We beckon you to see them at their WestEdge booth and VIP party as they shatter the norm and light up an appliance revolution.
