On October 15th, VANOC released the first images of the medals to be used for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The design of the medals took two years and a collaborative effort between Canadian Aboriginal designer/artist, Corinne Hunt, internationally renowned industrial designer, Omer Arbel, the Royal Canadian Mint, Teck Resources Limited, and VANOC’s in-house design team.

Omer Arbel was also the architect of the Inform Interiors 50 Water St location and you can see many of his designs in store.
With the work of Paul Sjaarda and the Contract sales of Inform Interiors we get to hear about exciting projects some time before they open. Recently we were able to provide the seating for the new cooking class room at The Dirty Apron Cooking School located south of Inform at 540 Beatty St (map).

A recent addition to Gastown is the beautifully finished showroom of Bulthaup Kitchens. Located on the corner of Abbot and Cordova across from the Woodwards development site, a shining gem in the continued revitalization of the Gastown area.
Entering the showroom you get a sense of serene warmth with the natural woods and utility with the steel. The surfaces beg you to fulfill their intended use. The B1 system is inexpensive and simple, a great working kitchen that hides nothing. My favorite piece is the massive oak cabinet from the B2 system, I love how much storage is put on display in such a neat and tidy way. Offering a perfectly designed and executed product, a great line to work with Vancouver’s homes.
