Exhibition Snapshot: Boom Design
While on the exhibition floor of Dwell on Design, it's hard to miss the curious crowds swarming around the playful modular shelves of Boom Design. We talked to Craig Varterian, entrepreneur and designer, about how he started it all.
After being in the journalism industry for many years, Craig Varterian embraced his passion for furniture design and began his business in 1994 out of his LA garage with one saw and one nail gun.
When asked about how he feels about being a part of Dwell on Design this year, Varterian says, "Most of my demographic has traditionally been based in Europe, but here in the US, it's always been the Dwell audience, who I think are the best of the American market. Dwell gets it."
