The design industry comes together to the 'experience the power of design' at the four-day, January 17-20
Interior Design Show at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre south building. Each year of IDS is an individual experience, with new installations, new designers and a redesigned showfloor. The photo at top is a rug!
Visitors can wander through the concept house: Great Lakes Cabin, the concept space: Re-Space, see the Ontario Wood Installation and walk amongst the clouds at the Haven installation or get tangled in the fabric strands found in the installation called Seeds by Marije Vogelzang, presented by Caesarstone.
IDS Conference Keynote speakers will share their expertise in design while seminars and trade talks run through out each days schedule. Don't forget celebrity musician, producer and creative force Questlove will be at the show during Globe and Mail Saturday.
"IDS Toronto celebrates and promotes design in Canada and across the world. Experiential and transformative, we bring together compelling concepts, innovative products, upcoming talent and key experts in the industry so that you can be inspired by the best of the future."
Party night includes tasty snack samples and bounteous quantities of free alcohol and beer samples.
Thursday is Professional Trade Day and the Opening Night Party. Professional Trade Day continues on Friday. The Globe and Mail Saturday and House and Home Sunday fill out the rest of the weekend. The days are full of seminars and design classes and the conference hall is a giant showroom of art, furniture, bathroom and kitchen fixtures and appliances.
On Thursday, January 17 you can purchase tickets for the IDS Party presented by PurParket and Toronto Life, supported by Benjamin Moore and LG Electronics. BELLOSOUND will provide music with special guests Miguel Migs and Lisa Shaw. The party is a splendid way to explore the show while sampling tasty food and adult beverages. A portion of the ticket price goes toward Habitat for Humanity.
