Design Milk is headed back up north to IDS Vancouver 9/22-25 this year to get a fresh dose of West Coast and Canadian design. In addition, the Exchange is back again and this year, in partnership with IDS Vancouver, the Consulate General of the Netherlands and Dudoc, we’ve curated the Dutch Exchange—four Eindhoven design brands that represent the most exciting design coming out of that city, with a space design by Burgers Architecture Inc.
