This October, more than 1,500 guests gathered for the Fall Edition of Desert Design Week, a weeklong celebration of art, design, and architecture across Phoenix and Scottsdale. Guided by this year’s theme Creative Analog, this edition invited guests to slow down, to look closer, and to reconnect with the tactile beauty of human design.

Across showrooms, studios, and storied spaces, Desert Design Week became a dialogue between creativity and community. Every event, whether a creativity-filled evening, a quiet ikebana gathering, or a design conversation, was an expression of the handmade, the thoughtful, and the enduringly beautiful.

For the spring edition of Desert Design Week, we had the pleasure of collaborating with artist Rika Kova, Rossland Holdings, and their creative director and real estate representative Justin Shea, on a special Desert Design Week moment at Maderos — Arizona’s first “Biophilic Estate” in Paradise Valley. The project brought together sculpture in its many forms, highlighting the shared language between art, home, and nature.

During Desert Design Week this past April, artist and sculptor Rika Kova brought a striking presence to the Art + Architecture Home Tour with a pop-up installation at Maderos—Arizona’s first biophilic estate. Known for her organic ceramic forms and minimal yet tactile aesthetic, Rika’s work seamlessly echoed the natural materials and architectural lines of the home. Her pieces added a sculptural rhythm to the space, inviting guests to pause, observe, and feel.

Moderated by Cammie Beckert of Cameron Custom, the panel featured three of the Valley’s most respected voices in design: Jaimee Rose of Jaimee Rose Interiors, Jeff Berghoff of Berghoff Design Group, and Susan Biegner of Biegner-Murff Architects. Each panelist brought their unique lens to the table, sharing personal stories, professional advice, and a shared passion for designing with intention.

During the Wine & Design at Camelot Homes Design Studio in Scottsdale, guests were able to revel in the awe of architectural features with an emphasis on tessellation. With collaborators such as Cameron Custom, Facings of America and Alfonso Versuzco Design, it became evident that architecture can be just as creative, artistic, and compelling as what fills the inside of any space.

If you’ve missed out on all the fun during October’s Desert Design Week events, here’s your chance to experience this one-of-a-kind property.

Welcome to Stay Skyeview, an architectural masterpiece perched on the iconic Camelback Mountain, offering an unparalleled blend of luxury, design, and tranquility. Designed by the visionary Joel Contreras Designs and Trent Hancock of Camelot Homes, and built by Cameron Custom, this one-of-a-kind retreat redefines desert living.

We're excited to represent and show Anjuli Morse's "Boulders" series, a body of work deeply influenced by photographer Laura Aguilar along with a selection of other works beautifully abstracted. Her bold use of color is the perfect dash of dopamine for any interior space.

Discover Jocelyn Kempe's unique approach to blending vintage treasures with contemporary aesthetics at Desert Design Week. As founder of The Heirloom Collective, Jocelyn crafts spaces that not only echo history but also resonate with modern design sensibilities. Explore how her garden party setups and creative workshops invite a deeper connection to artful, timeless living.

Mayla Greiner is a garden designer, passionate plant enthusiast, and creator of spaces that feel like a conversation with nature. On her days at home, Mayla begins each morning immersed in her garden. For her, this daily ritual is more than tending to plants—it’s a grounding practice that fosters creativity, a collaboration where the garden nurtures as much as it is nurtured. It’s this deep connection to nature that shaped the Le Potager Garden Soirée during Desert Design Week.

The soirée was a celebration of autumn, community, and creativity in the dreamiest of settings—Mayla’s own lush garden. Guests were invited to experience the garden under the evening sky, complete with delicious bites, artful styling, live music and meaningful connections.  

We were proud to showcase Ben Latham’s remarkable works during our pop-up galleries at Desert Design Week. His work is a reflection of contemporary South and Southwest —a vibrant mix of Laurel Canyon's free spirit, West Texas dive bar authenticity, and the legacy of the Taos Society of Artists. Drawing inspiration from the Horizontal Yellow's mystique, his work channels a psychedelic honky-tonk energy. Desert sunsets, country music rhythms, and a culture of resilience all influence his oil paintings.
