Boasting a lineup of 27 designers working in the disciplines of furniture, lighting, home accessories and jewelry, Join Design Seattle is holding their first annual design review entitled "Ctrl + Alt + Design." The group show brings American designers from around the nation together for the purpose of calling attention to up-and-coming designers.
Much like NYC-based American Design Club's recent exhibits, such as "Hue Are You," Join's Seattle exhibit highlights American talent, with the additional goal of building up a design community in Seattle on par with the aesthetic reflected by the modern design world.
Some of the pieces included in the show at the Ouch My Eye gallery are the Scrap Lights (above right) from Graypants, Inc., Urbancase's Camera Candle (pictured at top), Kiel Mead's cinder block necklace, Grain Design's Cafe Chair (above left), the colorful Crayon rings by Timothy Liles, Elisa Werbler's Dip Chair and much more.

The initial word, Dust,...
