THE MIX
We’re thrilled to announce the return of THE MIX: West Coast Best Coast, a unique program at IDS Vancouver that includes displays, installations and talks both onsite and off.
Presented in partnership with LA Design Festival and Design Milk, we have paired two relevant, leading Los Angeles-based designers (Leah Ring and Bari Ziperstein) with two celebrated contemporary Vancouver designers (Riley McFerrin and Ben Barber). Come see works by these pairs showcased at IDS Vancouver and head offsite to experience their installations and attend conversations at the Vancouver-based designers’ studios by purchasing a wristband!
