KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dwell is pleased to have American designer Stephen

ON THE SHOW FLOOR
New to DOD this year are four DOD PAVILIONS:
• ENERGY 360 PAVILION / TECHNOLOGY PAVILION:
The pavilion showcases new technologies that
advance the built environment, focusing on smart
home technology. The goal is to help our audience live
better, and be better informed about the energy
choices they make.
• UNIVERSAL DESIGN/DESIGN FOR HUMANKIND:
This series track is devoted to issues that explore
how good design makes our lives better by protecting
our quality of life. We span topics from Aging in Place
to Accessible Design. Also, a Universal Design home
on the show floor will demonstrate accessible UD
elements like "smart carpets," which utilize sensors
to determine unusual foot patterns or if someone
has fallen.
• SCANDINAVIAN PAVILION: Dwell celebrates the
unique modern design heritage found in Norway,
Finland, Sweden, and Denmark, inviting young
designers, furniture and technology companies and
product manufacturers to share their latest creations
and concepts.
• MODERN FAMILY PAVILION: This pavilion offers
innovative architecture and design solutions that
address the myriad needs, configurations, and
challenges that make a house a home.
KITCHEN & BATH

Dwell on Design celebrates kitchens and baths by

and sinks to fixtures. The boldfaced names in the
industry, such as Miele, Dacor, Dwell Design Week
