I was thrilled to attend to the media night preview for IDSwest tonight! There was so much inspiring design on display, such as Judson Beaumont’s Hollow Chair, Sarah Peloquin Ladany’s Geodesic-Wares, and Tom Dixon’s Etch Lights, to name a few.
The highlight of the night for me was the L41 Ultra Compact Home by Michael Katz Architecture. This ultra-compact home is affordable, sustainable, high quality, high-design and energy efficient! So much in such a small space!

Where you would usually see a back splash, the sleek windows let in light.

Barbara of hodge:podge and I carpooled to the event, so there was plenty of design and blog talk going on, along with some wine and yummy tacos! A great night in my opinion!
If I’ve peaked your curiosity, you should really check out IDSwest in September! It will be at the New Vancouver Convention Centre September 29th – October 2nd. I know I’ll be there!

I am so in love with that chair. As in, I must have one! I like the little cups too, but I am way too much of a klutz for something that needs delicate balancing.
But the chair……. Drool.
Thanks for the sneak peek Rosa! I can’t wait to see the Hollow Chair in person in September! I’ve been to Judson Beaumont’s studio, and he really thinks outside the box!
Thanks for the nice evening out Rosa! And for the photos. But Blogger is acting up and I can’t post the photos, so the post will have to wait!
Wish I could have joined you two last night. Looks like fun!!
Darryl and I wished we could have been there, but we just couldn’t swing it! We are really looking forward to this fall and the IDS show.
Glad you and Barbara had a fabulous time!
Thanks Jodi! Looking forward to catching up with you guys on Monday night!
That chair is awesome! Thanks for this post
That chair is amazing and I love love love the cups. Looks like you guys had a great time.
It was a lot of fun Beatrice!
If only IDSwest wasn’t on the other side of the country… I’ve been to IDS in Toronto the last two years, and both shows were great. I suspect the west show will have a lot of different products than the east show.
I LOVE big kitchen windows that come right down to the backsplash behind the sink. It’s such a great look, and definitely something I’ll incorporate into a future house if I can.
