There’s
less than a week to go until Calgary Home + Design Show opening night, and our top exhibitors and
sponsors are gearing up with amazing giveaways right here on our blog!
Exhibitor
Fitterfirst is giving entrants a shot at winning the
VariDesk Single, a revolutionary platform that allows users to turn a
traditional desktop into a sit/stand desk. This desk-enhancing gadget, valued
at $324.95, is designed to improve energy, health and productivity by enabling
people to work while switching between sitting and standing. Click here to enter to win!
We
chatted with Louis Stack, Fitterfirst founder and proud third
generation Calgarian, to get the lowdown on this revolutionary new concept.
Tell us when your company was established and
how it got started.
The company was established in 1985. I underwent double foot and knee surgery,
which caused me to suffer a serious balance issue. Balance training would have helped
improve my condition. But, unfortunately the training device was not available
in North America. This inspired me to improve the design and concept of the
device available in Europe and bring it to North America. This eventually led
to the creation of Fitterfirst, where we focus on the development and manufacturing of simple yet
highly functional balance and stability products. The products are designed to
help reduce injuries, enhance sport performance and increase user’s confidence
in sports and daily living.
What inspires you when creating equipment for
Fitterfirst?
I focus
on products that are functional in that they integrate stability, agility and
mobility in the human body, with the goal of improving health and overall
wellbeing.
How many years have you involved with the
Calgary Home + Design Show and what is your favourite part?
This is the second year we will be exhibiting at the show. My favourite part is interacting with customers and helping them live a better, more comfortable day-to-day life.
What is your life philosophy?
I
believe that quality of life does not come from what you have, it comes from
what you do with what you have.

exhibitors.
Exhibitor
Creative Windmill Photography, home of Calgary’s
own snap
happy virtuoso Wilko Van de Kamp, is giving away this beautiful framed
photograph set on the glorious ski slopes of the Swiss Alps. Perfect as a

want to miss out on. Click here to enter!
We sat
down with Wilko Van de Kamp at his Creative Windmill Photography studio
to learn what makes him tick, or, we should say, click.
Tell us about your company and how it got started.
My
company officially launched about 5 years ago, but I've had a passion for
photography since I bought my first camera at 15 years old. Being a self taught professional photographer, I have become my camera, its
lens my eye and its film my memory. I've been capturing this wonderful planet
and its beautiful inhabitants for more than half my life now.
Where do you find inspiration?
My artistic inspiration comes from traveling all
over the world and being privilege to so many magical moments that I couldn’t
help but capture. I fell
in love with the remarkable things I saw and the exceptional people who crossed
my path. My photographic art is my way of translating and
sharing these memories with the world.
How would you describe what you do?
I would
describe it as travel photography that makes your walls smile! Each one of my photographs is a unique piece you can’t find anywhere
else. My pictures are untouched and unedited – what you get is a true image of
real-life, with all the natural beauty, honesty and poignancy of a moment
captured in time. My pictures are available in a variety of mediums, including
art gallery prints, canvas prints, acrylic prints and bamboo prints.
How many years have you taken part in the
Calgary Home + Design Show and what is your favourite part about it?
This is
my first year that I have been involved with the show and I am excited to
participate. I’ve been hard at work designing unique displays and I can’t wait
to share them with all the visitors!

"As a family of 6 (wowsers !) we spend most of our time in the kitchen with family and friends. As a designer and blogger, I truly believe that everyone should have a sofa in their kitchen ! It is a great conversational area and a fun space to really enjoy and chillax.
Our home is a 100 year old farmhouse with an adult sized treehouse too. I am so inspired by the trees and nature around me, and all the organic elements it has to offer. I love working with elements that are already present around me. Green moss, twigs, river rocks, and boxwood.
The curtains in the living room were hung with twigs (from the treehouse trees) for an added interest. Lighting is from West Elm and the sofas were completely affordable from Ikea. The Ikea sofas are a slip cover design & therefore so very easy to maintain. (Don't let all the WHITE scare you, it is super easy to take care of).
We literally use the space every single day. Not a bit of space is wasted. We love love love it and hope you do too ! The room has such a positive energy & natural look/comfortable feel ...and is heated by a vintage elmira wood stove in the kitchen. We can sit in our (kitchen) living room and enjoy the smell of bread baking in the oven. YUM !!
You can see more of our home on my blog DESIGN THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE www.lynneknowlton.com" - Lynne
