looking forward to the vancouver home and interior design show this weekend. hoping to take in a few highlights explained from their site:

gau designs and east meets west. east meets west will showcase work from design disciplines such as furniture, lighting, graphics, & architecture. a new generation of display – it will be dynamic, flexible, and animated by light and sound.

bark bark. the canadian debut tour of the all-terrain cabin, a 420 square foot, fully outfitted cabin for the 21 st century—mobile, self-contained, low-impact, smart, tough, cool, and all canadian. based on the ISO container format, it can be transportable to any place in the world. when it gets to its destination the contents won't be unloaded, instead the entire shipment will unfold, deploy, and spread its wings to become the all terrain cabin (ATC).

the elements of home. elements of home features locally and sustainably designed products that surround us in our homes. this exhibition is designed to appeal to a wide audience; from those intrigued by eco-chic to those interested in practical ‘green' building products.
