A display of autumnal bounty by David Anthony Chenault in Rue IV.
Every year, some 20 local design teams partner with Washington Design Center showrooms to celebrate the holidays. Now in its eighth year, the lively soirée presents dazzling vignettes and tablescapes—ranging from classic to avant garde—made with fabrics and finery sourced at the center.
This year’s Fête will kick off with a public reception on December 5th; attendees can peruse each showroom display, meet the designers and enjoy refreshments. Décor will remain on view through December 8th.
