EcoSmart™ Burner ONE and Extinguisher installed in private residence. Manufactured by The Fire Company.

One of the season’s most exciting assemblage of cutting-edge design is coming up this week in Santa Monica, California.

CA Boom V will be touching down in the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport March 14-16, featuring an overwhelming array - building accessories, home accessories, lighting, solar, studio furniture, surfaces.

Check out this beautiful open fireplace that was featured last year - the ecosmart. It burns with a cool (literally) alcohol flame, which means you don’t have to worry about fancy installations. In fact, you can have it as a standalone on plastic casters, allowing you to move your fireplace around the living room, roll it out onto the deck, or stash it away when you’re having a big party, or simply want more space over the summer. And no emissions!

This year there will be several special focus zones:

The Prefab Zone features some of the top firms in the world of off-site assembly and design, with a Saturday (March 15) panel discussion from the leading ladies of the movement: Michelle Kaufmann, Jennifer Siegal, Rocio Romero and Allison Arieff, the former editor-in-chief of DWELL magazine.

There’s also a Modern Kitchen and Bath Zone, with Poliform, CHR/Scavolini, New York Loft, Valcucine/Dom, with installations and displays from CaesarStone, Liebherr, Tonusa, Advanced Concrete Enhancement, Neo-Metro, O-Form, and others.

Not enough? Check out the Modern Parenting Zone, showcasing the latest from Bloom, notNeutral, Boodalee, coochicoos, Scandinavian Child, ducduc and lots more.

Day tickets are $20, available through the website; there’s also a Friday night party with food, DJs, and schmoozing that’s well worth the $50 price tag.

“…a design showcase… part trade show, part happening, part conference, part home tour and part party.”

Jeremy Bloom has been writing about truth, beauty and other such nonsense for more than 20 years. He has worked both in building and design, at places such as Barn Raisers, a not-for-profit construction company, and Lunar Logic, a software development firm. Somewhere in his life, he was also a contractor and carpenter. Believe it or not, his lodging history is as varied as his work experience - after living in New York City, Jerusalem, Toronto, Santa Monica and Portland (as in Oregon), he recently moved to the eco-paradise of Powell River, British Columbia, north of Vancouver. He lives by the ocean with his fiance, Lyra, and their cats Navi and Sylvanus.

I love this product! I specified it on a loft project - but like all great products I fall in love with - it eventually got deleted.
