iSaloni in Milan, the worlds biggest exposition for furniture, lighting and accessory manufacturers from around the globe. Every year, some of the Inform staff makes the journey overseas to get a first look at all of the new and upcoming products. Below is the first batch of photos from the fair.
This year, the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts is hosting evenings with some of the most influential women today. Unique Lives & Experiences is a very special, multi-evening lecture series designed to motivate, challenge and enlighten anyone with an open mind and a strong desire to learn from the personal experiences of the distinguished speakers. These delightful evenings also include question and answer periods.
Inform is proud to provide the on stage furnishings for this event. If you are fortunate enough to take part in the first evening and are curious about any of the pieces seen on stage, we have provided you with a quick break-down and brief descriptions.

Flash Factories in Milan and Hong Kong
What would normally be a static furniture showroom window is transformed into a Flash Factory where the processes of industrial production are brought directly to the customer. A limited number of exclusive products are made and sold on site. Etch is a digitally manufactured collection that includes a light and candle-holder in brass. Everything is sold on a first come first serve basis. Visitors can purchase a version that has been fully assembled at the factory window, or a flat-packed version to complete at home. The Flash Factory demonstrates Future Industry and the new found power of the designer, able to service world markets with the latest products in greatly reduced time scales.
