I just went to the CA BOOM trade show in the Airport Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. CA Boom is the west coast independent design show.
The show was smaller than I expected, but none the less quite inspiring. There were some quite interesting furniture designs, lighting, art, tiles and jewellery design.

There were some great modern looking outdoor furniture, so if you are getting ready to sit outside again, but need a upgrade of your outdoor funiture visit www.modernoutdoor.com
