The Utah Design Exhibit began in 2017 as an annual fine furniture exhibit. The first exhibit consisted of student work from the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College and featured several professional furniture builders from around the Wasatch Front.
Since then the exhibit has grown in attendance and participation drawing hundreds of attendees in 2023 to see 24 furniture builders and interior designers from around the country.
The Utah Design Exhibit promotes the art of custom fine furniture building and handmade interior design objects from artisans around the United States.
The exhibit takes place during Salt Lake Design Week, a weeklong forum for designers, business professionals, students, and the general public to interact, collaborate, and learn from each other. The 2024 Utah Design Exhibit takes place Friday, October 11th at Woodbine Food Hall during Salt Lake Design Week.
