MADE:MODERN section. This feature area, sponsored in part by Design Milk, highlights more
than 40 cutting-edge independent designers and makers of contemporary furniture and lighting,
including brands blankblank, M. Shively Art + Design, Phloem Studio, MOQU, Zia Priven
and Oso Industries. All items will be available for purchase with makers also accepting custom
orders on-site.
