About the Event
Get ready to ignite your creativity on October 15, 2026, at Genesis Downtown in Columbus for an electrifying evening celebrating Sparking Change through design!
We're inviting you to push the boundaries of interior design materials — think textiles, wallcovering, tile, laminate, paint, flooring, and more — by transforming them into unique, functional lamps. Dive into the challenge by repurposing an existing lamp or sourcing one secondhand. Remember, all designs should feature an LED rechargeable E26 lightbulb. (provided by the IIDA team)
Showcase your craft: Your masterpiece will be professionally displayed for a vibrant community of design enthusiasts.
Support the cause: All auction proceeds will fuel local advocacy efforts.
Winning Perks: Stand out and be celebrated by our panelists for Best in Show and Most Innovative Use of Materials.
