About Design Expo
The West Texas Design Expo has a 30-year legacy at Texas Tech University. Each October, representatives bring the newest products and materials to design professionals and students. This event connects the designers and students with the best in the contract furnishings industry. Our Design Expo allows exhibitors to introduce their products to future designers, while educating them on the latest product design.
WHAT'S NEW TO THE 2021 WEST TEXAS DESIGN EXPO
Professional Hour
One exciting addition this year is the professional hour, which will be open to all professionals to come and visit with the vendors the hour before students arrive. The professional hour will run from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
Professional Vignette Displays
Last Design Expo we introduced a new feature that proved to very successful: design vignettes. Each consisted of various products contributed by different companies. Products such as furniture or bathtubs were displayed in an 8x8 booth. They were also used as a photo opportunity and as a stopping mark for the scavenger hunt.
Design vignettes are free of charge and a great way for students to experience the products first hand. If you are interested in providing furniture or materials for a vignette, please contact the Expo Coordinator.
