OCIN’s annual holiday pop-up, The Break Room, took place December 10-12 , the first time in two years that we could connect with our community again in person. The Break Room is a space that was created to promote rest, mindfulness, community, and connection; an immersive event that’s carried over the course of three days to allow you the opportunity to shop from local friends of our collective that we admire.
In addition to curating a selection of beautiful brands and creators, we also host calming, thoughtful, and restorative experiences throughout the weekend to complement the vision of inspiring rest and connection during this busy holiday season.
This year, we were incredibly grateful to be partnering with 'Arcade Showroom' – Lock and Mortice and Matthew McCormick’s beautiful new showroom in Gastown in ‘Vancouver’ -- on the unceded and traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations.
