What an incredible four days!
From inspiring talks and curated exhibitions to hands-on workshops and a block party that lit up Helms Walk — LA Design Festival 2025 was everything we hoped it would be and more.
To every speaker, artist, designer, volunteer, vendor, and guest who showed up and brought their creativity, energy, and passion to the Helms Design District: thank you. You helped transform our community into a living canvas of ideas, innovation, and collaboration.
This year’s festival reminded us why we do what we do — design isn’t just about objects or spaces; it’s about people, stories, and shared experiences. We’re honored to have been a part of yours.
We’ve gathered some of our favorite moments from across the weekend — explore the gallery below to relive the highlights and catch anything you might have missed.

With gratitude,
