Dwell on design

Over the weekend, I stopped by Dwell on design, and well, I was left wanting a little more.  There were a few wonderful finds, which I will share later, but overall, I was a little bummed.  I did however love their outdoor area, which was filled with succulents, modern furniture and homes.  This hanging mobile from Rainforest flora of succulents was a fun display, I wonder if in a smaller scale it would work for an outdoor garden party?  
I loved this little house, it had a very 'put together' feel.

And more succulents in boxes.  I wanted to grab information for this fun box, but couldn't seem to find anything.  They did however have a fun business card display made out of burlap (that was empty!).
Seems everyone is getting on the hanging planters bandwagon, I think there were 2 or 3 separate vendors with them!  I have always liked the look of these, and this is the first time I have seen them in person, and lets just say there was water on the floor.

Anyone else stop by Dwell on design?  If so, what did you think?  I try to always keep things positive and showcase things I love, but wanted to keep it real.  Hopefully next year will be a little bigger.

That mobile is sooooo great. I totally agree with you that a smaller version would be great for a party.

I agree, I was totally disappointed. but the designer installation in the back had a bunch of great stuff. Why did they hide it in the back?
