Meet our 2008 Best In Show entry Haywood Poochfield! Inspired by the mid-century modern master furniture maker Haywood Wakefield’s Stepped End-table, we at NAKA Designs, LLC incorporated our pooch to create an updated interpretation of the table. Not only is this piece functional, but also fabulous to look at!

For those of you unfamiliar with the Best In Show Event, this is the gala involving businesses and individuals who decorate an Eero Aarnio puppy for display in the showroom. Then, in a night of fast paced auctioneering, the pups are bid on and return to new homes! All proceeds are donated to the Denver Animal Care Foundation which provides low cost veterinary services to those who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

Go to modlivin and take a look at all of this years’ pups! Vote for ours too:)

Our 2007 pooch was the cutest ever. Despite the mild electrocution and harmful inhalation fumes, the reward of a fab dog was well worth it! Go to www.modlivin.com to see this years’ dog entries. Vote for our dog if you like it!

Yet another angle. We played on color as well as the usage of positive and negative space…look at the glowing boxes

Hosted by Benjamin Moore, the theme was “COLOR”. We choose Kumquat…deep, luscious, juicy, warm and rich!
