CA Boom 4! What I Saw...

I visited CA Boom 4 on Friday and it was a nice change in pace. Located in Santa Monica, this weekends show is promoting itself as "the west coast independent show". They pretty much got that right. I saw lots of new and emerging modern companies with interesting products. Check out 407. This company is based in LA and is producing some really sleek and fresh, modern furniture. They produce both upholstery and casegoods. They have successfully tackled both subjects well. I was also super into this skateboard line, Bottega Montana produced by two Italian skilled brothers who have trained in product design and architecture. The boards are made from black walnut and white oak. Showcasing their new Paul Smith Edition of boards, these 77 skateboards will be scattered between Japan, Europe and the States while decks last. I know the vinyl sticker thing seems to be emerging everywhere, I still like it and am still partial to Blik. I found their booth with packs of other people. Clearly by their popularity, these guys understand pop culture graphics. Their selection is urban and colorful. Prices aren't bad either so, you can change your mind as often as you want. Check out their site, spruce up the pad. I also visited the Not Neutral and Nurseryworks booths. The sensible places for anything baby and kid. Both of these brands cater to the exploding baby business with purity of materials and cleanliness of design. Perfect for the cosmopolitan family today, you can find both of these lines available in depth on 2Modern.com notNeutral rocker shown. 407 grass ottoman shown
