Highwood’s annual Design Week returns for its 7th year, September 16–19, highlighting interiors, art, fashion, and beverage & culinary creativity.

This event brings together designers, artists, and tastemakers for a series of curated experiences, chef-driven tastings, cocktails, and inspired gatherings.

YOU'RE INVITED!

Kick off Highwood’s 7th Annual Design Week with the Highwood Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, September 16, against the backdrop of one of the city’s most iconic murals, abutting the future home of One Off Hospitality’s anticipated Avec restaurant.

Enjoy curated bites from Avec and wine by The Merchant. Also, browse a striking display of planters by Rosborough Partners, recognized for their work at the Lake Forest Showhouse.

Guests will mingle with a diverse group of designers, artists, and tastemakers. Try on one-of-a-kind vintage pieces and discover wardrobe must-haves from Square Vintage Company.

This distinctive evening sets the stage for a week-long celebration of design in all its forms—art, fashion, food, and drink woven throughout Highwood.
