Palm Springs serves as a magnetic pole for modern design. Though design lovers are attracted to the area year-round, the greatest influx occurs during Palm Springs Modernism Week and its feature event—the Show & Sale. Since the first Show & Sale launched in February 2001, the popularity, interest, and passion for mid-century modern design has increased dramatically. In order to keep up with the growing demand from collectors, a second Show & Sale was incorporated as the featured event of Modernism Week’s Fall Preview.

The show will return as the highlight event of Modernism Week’s Fall Preview, featuring 40 renowned national and international dealers offering a unique collection of vintage furniture, textiles, and decorative and fine arts. The Fall Preview edition is a more intimate version of the annual Palm Springs Modernism Show & Sale held in February for the past sixteen years.
