It’s become an essential night for our local Vancouver design community to celebrate, reconnect, have a few glasses of wine, and toast the winners on stage with the team at our sister publication, Western Living magazine. The folks at Article opened their doors, for the first time to the design community, to be the gracious hosts for the night—and provide cushy breaks in their sofas for guests wearing impractical (but stunning!) footwear. A big thanks to everyone who attended and shared in the fun. Here are a few of our favourites. See you next year?
