As the holiday shopping season approaches, wellness is taking center stage on gift lists, and few presents say “I care” like a better night’s sleep. Good news for Orange County shoppers: Hästens, the Swedish bedmaker known for craftsmanship dating to 1852, has opened its newest California flagship at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.

The store offers the full Hästens experience, including the exclusive Grand Vividus bed and the Bernadotte & Kylberg furniture collection. Beyond the beds, Hästens carries sleep essentials that make thoughtful, elevated gifts for anyone who treats their nighttime ritual as seriously as their morning matcha. Here are a few favorites to make the season a little dreamier:

The Cozy Essential: Down boots for slow mornings and chilly winter evenings.
The Perfect Pillow Upgrade: Premium pillows designed to elevate nightly rest.
The Everyday Luxury: Satin Pure sheets that add a refined touch to the bedroom.
The Wind-Down Uniform: Soft, luxurious robes and pajamas that turn the shift from busy day to restful night into a ritual of its own.

Whether you’re shopping for the wellness enthusiast, the design-minded friend or someone who deserves a little extra comfort, these gifts last well beyond the holidays.

For a more relaxed visit, book an appointment and step into the Sleep Spa, a private, tranquil space where you can find your perfect bed. Napping is encouraged.

BUILD Brings the Heavy Lifting to Newport Beach

10.22.26

BUILD, the strength-focused concept from the team behind BURN, has opened its second location inside BURN Newport Beach. The studio, which launched in August as BURN’s first location outside Los Angeles, now offers BUILD’s dedicated strength classes alongside its existing BURN programming.

BUILD pairs progressive heavy lifting with low infrared heat and medical-grade red and near-infrared LED light, all in a format designed for hypertrophy, or muscle building. The 50-minute classes follow a push/pull/legs split, giving members a structured path to getting stronger over time. With just 12 benches per class, BUILD blends personalized coaching with the energy of a group workout. The first BUILD opened in Studio City in May, and more Southern California locations and new markets are planned.

BURN founder Maria Chase has built a devoted following across five Southern California studios, where sold-out classes and waitlists reflect demand for the brand’s signature method. BURN combines high-intensity weighted workouts and low-impact, Pilates-based sculpting with infrared heat and medical-grade LED/NIR red and blue light. Chase said adding BUILD gives Orange County members another way to train with the team and meets a growing appetite for strength training in a supportive setting.

“We created BUILD to bring a structured, progressive approach to strength training into a group setting,” said Shaya Charvet. “With 12 benches, we can work closely with each person and help them understand when they’re ready to lift heavier. Seeing that progress, and having the encouragement of the people training beside you, is what keeps members coming back.”

BUILD’s approach also helped partner David Charvet prepare for “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” He trained with his son Shaya to develop the strength the show demands.

“Preparing for Special Forces gave me a very specific reason to get stronger, and Shaya and the BUILD team pushed me to a level I hadn’t reached before,” said David Charvet. “Training at BUILD helped me build the physical strength and also the mental confidence to take on the Special Forces challenges. I’m excited to bring the culture and community that BUILD creates to Newport Beach and help more people feel seen and discover what they’re capable of.”
