Entrance feature by Obakki<\/strong>
\nHighlighting the launch of the IDS x Obakki Design Incubator Program<\/a>, this unique, multi-sensory installation will feature products from Montreal-based Cyrc., a brand known for their functional home objects created from recycled plastic waste. The entry feature will bring together two coexisting worlds (natural & human designed) into a shared space to explore their interrelation and the impact of human-centric design on the natural world.<\/p>\n

\n

The Modern Prefab<\/strong>
\nThe Modern Prefab feature at IDS Vancouver 2023 will highlight elevated design in a small footprint. The platform for all things design has invited the top players in the prefab and tiny home industry in The Pacific Northwest to showcase their work. This new feature installation at IDS Vancouver will be a key space at this year\u2019s event and will offer the IDS audience an experiential feature to visit.<\/p>\n

EQ3 Lounge<\/strong>
\nEQ3<\/a> will present the Opening Night Party at IDS Vancouver and will launch their new BIRD collection at the EQ3 Lounge on-site in September.\u00a0The Bird collection is a first-of-its-kind for EQ3, offering multi-dimensional comfort with a predominantly foam construction. Inspired by the late 70s, this collection models an abstract profile of a bird. With relaxed edges, generous seat depth, and a highly modular design, Bird was created to suit any space. It’s timeless, just as we believe it should be.<\/p>\n
