We attended the opening for MADE’s Radiant Dark: Assets & Values being held in conjunction with IDS10 in thematically-appropriate Commerce Court on Wednesday night, where photographer Danijela Pruginic and writer Adam Gorley captured the mood and imagery of this always-inspiring event. It is on until Sunday January 24 so there is still time to check it out (Commerce Court West, 199 Bay Street).

Scroll on for some eye-candy from the event and some musings on value & design by Adam. Click here for more scenes from Assets & Values and here for more musings on the show.
