Natural Wonder is the theme for the Interior Design Show (IDS) Vancouver 2020, with online and offline events, talks, and experiences taking place from October 1 to 8. All in-person events are appropriately small-scale and physically distanced, but if you’re seeking to explore the intersection of nature and design from the comfort of your stylish home, here are some highlights of what’s streaming.
Nature the Master Creator: Using the Science of Nature to Create Magical, Memorable, and Sustainable Experiences
October 2, 9 to 10 a.m. online via IDS Vancouver
Natasha Hussein is a self-taught multidisciplinary maker and designer with a chemistry degree, founder of Super Imaginary, and a firm believer in restoring colour and vibrancy not just to design but to daily living.

The One Image
October 5, 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. online via IDS Vancouver
Vancouver photographer Ema Peter cuts through so much visual clutter to help people create an emotional response and tell a story through a single shot. Her tips may be geared to designers, but with more than one billion images being uploaded to magazines, blogs, and social media channels every day, anyone wanting to get noticed could benefit from her session.
Designing Death: Connecting the End of Life to the Natural World
Become dirt when you die—and give life to a tree or garden. Recompose is a Seattle-based public-benefit corporation founded by Katrina Spade, who wants to change to current death care paradigm. “Natural organic reduction” is the term used to describe the process of gently transforming human remains into soil. For every person who chooses Recompose over conventional burial or cremation, one metric ton of carbon dioxide is prevented from entering the atmosphere. It’s an end-of-life option that strengthens the environment rather than harming it.
