Last week, I was invited to preview several design pieces for the upcoming IDS West 2012 show (September 27 to 30 at the Vancouver Convention Centre).
Now in its eighth year, IDS West will highlight some of the West Coast’s key design players.
Added to this year’s show is the 100 Mile House Design Competition, hosted by the Architectural Foundation of BC, and inspired by the 100 Mile Diet.

Omer Arbel of Bocci will design a bar right in the middle of the show. It will feature an incredible lighting installation and amazing furnishings. The Inform Bar by Bocci will offer signature cocktails and lively conversation, and is likely to serve as the show’s social hub.
Here’s a few photos that I took at the Inform Contract space on Railway Street in East Vancouver.
