With the lavish opening night gala just hours away, I’ve got time for one more sneak peek at the 2010 Interior Design Show… The last in my “names to know” at the IDS series are Eva Milinkovic and Kris Gene of Tsunami Glassworks, a design duo whose modern organic sculptures in glass have been making some serious waves (sorry, couldn’t resist) since 2005.
Names: Eva Milinkovic & Kris Gene of Tsunami Glassworks
