Attendees check out the IQ Haus at Dwell on Design.

Dwell on Design, the magazine’s signature trade show, took place this weekend in Los Angeles. This year’s event was focused on the environment—eco design, green living, and sustainable food.

Dwell’s corner of the massive LA Convention Center was filled with an art installation curated by designboom, interior design vendors, pre-fab houses, and two stages for presentations and discussions about design innovation and sustainablility. The most popular spaces, however, were the outdoor living exhibits—green patches that simulated backyards, with plant life, outdoor lounge chairs, and hammocks swinging from leafy trees.

Magazine content came to life in presentations like “Surfer’s Turf”. Architect Barbara Bestor discussed the thinking behind the Venice beach house she did for Eric Grunbaum (above), a story featured in the March issue.

Here’s a quick photo tour of the show:
