Palm Beach Design Days returns January 27–30, 2026, marking its third and most ambitious edition yet. What began as a boutique gathering has grown into one of the season’s most anticipated cultural moments, bringing together leaders in design, architecture, art, preservation, and craftsmanship for four days of conversation, inspiration, and community. With proceeds benefiting the Preservation-Foundation of Palm Beach, the event pairs creative excellence with a mission grounded in protecting the character and heritage of the island.
Conversations That Shape the Season
This year’s lineup includes Architectural Digest’s Amy Astley, Aerin Lauder, Victoria Hagan, Tom Scheerer, Jacqueline Terrebonne of Galerie, Alessandra Branca, Markham Roberts, Edo Mapelli Mozzi, Stephen Sills, and other taste makers.
Across the week, panels delve into a wide range of topics such as:
• The future of American interiors
• The relationship between art, collecting, and design
• The evolving definition of luxury
• Architectural legacy and preservation
• The craftsmanship shaping tomorrow’s heirlooms
• Coastal design and the aesthetics of modern living
A Design Week That Moves Across the Map
Part of the magic of Design Days is its movement across spaces. Events unfold everywhere from the Norton Museum of Art to Glazer Hall’s new cultural stage, from storied design ateliers like Casa Branca and Hive Home, Gift & Garden to newcomers and pop-ups that showcase emerging talent. Visitors wander through open houses, preview collections, meet designers, and experience the region’s showrooms in a moving way.
Culinary moments and daily breakfasts create a communal rhythm to the week, while hands-on workshops—such as decoupage with Sister Parish—offer tactile craft engagement. Evening cocktail parties will be hosted by Perigold, Storia Flooring, The Colony Hotel, and Mabley Handler, giving guests a chance to connect across disciplines in classic Palm Beach style.
Rooted in Preservation and Progress
At its core, Palm Beach Design Days is a celebration of the individuals and institutions who shape the island. It honors the craftsmanship and stewardship that have always defined design, while supporting the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach.
This year’s program, presented with support from Benjamin Moore, The Colony Hotel, Glazer Hall, The Norton Museum of Art, and notable partners across the industry, reflects a dynamic cross-section of ideas shaping the design world today. Click here for the full schedule.
