IDSWEST STAGES
The central CAESARSTONE STAGE at IDSwest15 will be designed by HCMA Architecture + Design. HCMA is a firm of over 50 staff members that has been recognized internationally and nationally for service and design excellence. The studio environment in both their Vancouver and Victoria offices, intentionally open to foster dialogue and problem solving, supports their collaborative approach. This approach has been applied to the concept design for this year’s stage, which uses the shape of a circle to gather people together, and break the grid established by the existing exhibit booth layout. The hanging panels that define the perimeter of the circle recall the draped canopy of a willow tree, and are gathered together at strategic points to allow access and views to the events within.
DROP IN AND ENJOY INFORMATIVE, ENTERTAINING, AND INSPIRING PRESENTATIONS ON OUR STAGES. STAGE The Caesarstone Stage is the source for inspiring and educational keynote lectures from local and international experts in the design industry. At IDSwest we are excited to host an esteemed group of designers and design industry professionals on the Caesarstone Stage for both the Azure Trade Talks and consumer presentations.
THE GRAY CONVERSATIONS STAGE Once again, GRAY is the exclusive media sponsor of one of the most anticipated elements of the show: the GRAY Conversations Stage. Hosted and moderated by GRAY, this unique show highlight will feature on-topic, dynamic discussions with creative thinkers— providing a more intimate experience for both trade and design enthusiasts.
The intimate and inviting GRAY Conversations Stage and Lounge were designed by Jen Hawk of Vancouver-based Occupy Design. Inspired by highend hospitality design and channeling a West Coast organic-modern sensibility, the spaces “celebrate the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest,” says Hawk. Live greenery “chandeliers,” shou sugi ban (charred wood) planters, and concrete and copper details create a luxurious, comfortable environment that draws the audience close and invites them to be a part of the Conversations.

Roll & Hill | Brooklyn Presented by:
Friday 11:00 a.m. GRAY CONVERSATIONS STAGE *Submitted for AIBC/IDCEC accreditation
Jason Miller is a Brooklynbased designer and the founder of Jason Miller Studio and the acclaimed lighting company Roll & Hill. Earlier in his career, Jason spent time in both the art and advertising worlds, but soon realized he preferred making things to documenting them. His designs—such as a mirror whose photographic surface recalls a painted landscape—reflect his early preoccupations, but each is a functional object, with a kind of beauty and wit. Since it was founded in 2010, Roll & Hill has cultivated strong relationships with its designer-collaborators and introduced a fleet of stunning and innovative lamps to market.
Known for bridging the gap between art, architecture, and design, Roy McMakin has been creating furniture–art objects since 1979. Although he launched his career in Los Angeles, the Wyoming-born artist moved to Seattle in 1994, where he established his architecture firm and custom-built furniture and manufacturing studio. Interested in the sculptural and emotional pull of objects, McMakin noted in a 2010 personal essay that he sees “the job of an artist as that of a philosopher of visual experience.” His work has been the subject of multiple solo exhibitions, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle.
