So unless you have been living under a rock recently you likely have already heard that IDSwest opens TODAY!

Well IDSwest is not only about hot design; it’s also about hot designers as well! This year IDSwest has a rap sheet a mile long of speakers presenting on the Para Design Stage but there are two in particular that are not to be missed.

5PM Friday September 30 brings Ross Lovegrove, London UK, founder and principle of Lovegrove Studios, presenting Fantastica. Fantastica is aimed at inspiring a fantastic new view of the future as design, nature, art, science and technology fuse together to create incredible new possibilities in the process of design, the way we industrialise it and the way we can discover a new language of organic beauty and intelligence for the 21st Century.
