Once again we've partnered with our friends at IDSwest to bring you the details on this incredible 4-day show!

Fall is here and that means design isn’t far behind. IDSwest is turning up the heat on your fall with a packed showfloor, amazing industry heavyweight presentations and killer features from September 29 – October 2 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This year’s exhibitors list reads like a who’s-who in the design world and spans all the categories you want to see to make your dream home come to life.

Want original? How about items made from the fabric from the old convention centre roof as part of Re-Fab, Design for Sail. How about pulling up a stool at the Tom Dixon Pub, a pop-up bar presented by Inform? Or maybe just cruise through Studio north and see designers from Portland and Seattle. Any and all of the above, plus over 105 retailers, 72 independent designers and 21 manufacturers- all vetted for your enjoyment. No brooms or mops here.

IDSwest kicks off with the design party of the year on Thursday Sept 29, featuring shows by Vancouver Fashion Week at 7, 8 & 9, schmoozing in the Tom Dixon Pub by Inform and beat’s by Montreal based DJ Mario. Design is alive in Vancouver- check it out at IDSwest. www.idswest.com
