Hasta La Ideas

As in the past several years, we are pleased to partner with the International Home + Housewares Show to present the highlights from the annual show. Of course, with some 60,000 exhibitors from all over the world, four days is not nearly enough time to see every thing in the three massive exhibition halls of McCormick Place, and the products and booths you see “>here represent just a tiny fraction of the goods on view.

In any case, we were excited to see the Design Debut section, where ten independent designers and makers—including our friends and some time Core-tributors Craighton Berman & Bruce Tharp—had the opportunity to present their work. Similarly, first-time exhibitors like Crucial Detail, Finell and Mollaspace made a strong showing in the Dine + Design section, while we also checked out new products from OXO, Kikkerland and a few of our other faves.
