So I was at the show and saw a lot of great stuff besides the Soda Stream and Herb Pot. I hope Core posts more stuff. Brands like Dreamfarm, Joseph Joseph, Menu, Zoku, Tovolo, epicurean, and Chef'n all had great new stuff that is worth checking out. Bodum moved over to the electrics hall, and had a great chandalier using their glass from the vacuum coffee makers. Other brands that had great product were Lifetime brands with new designs throughout their many brands, PMI had some Mason Jar mugs they were giving away to buyers and guest. The show had good work from the students, a good trends section with color and eco-materials showcased, and IHHS had their own design and innovation awards for all the different categories at the show.
