Redefining Surfaces.

Redefining Kitchens.

Welcome.

Every year, the Interior Design Show offers up plenty of surprises, and that’s especially true for 2019. Foremost is the expansion of our professional offerings with the introduction of IDS Contract, a hyper-curated platform serving the architecture and design contract sector alongside IDS Toronto’s interior design–focused programming.

We’ve expanded IDS Conference with a new emphasis on diversity and talent, and an eye to the industry’s hottest issues, from experience design to future cities. This year also sees the launch of IDS Pro, which dedicates two full days of programming exclusively to trade professionals.

Finally, we’ve relocated to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre’s South Building, with a new floor plan designed to promote your discovery of new products, new ideas and new talent.

Here, you’ll come face to face with world-renowned designers and get to hear them speak, meet with young and emerging studios as you explore their latest product launches, and shop for the highestquality design goods in a meticulously curated pop-up market.

Our new format also makes more room for our feature presentations: this year, you’ll be the first to encounter a new kit-of-parts building method inside a full-scale concept house, and tour immersive interior spaces that reimagine how to live, work, play and learn in the age of ever-present technology.

All of these changes carry us closer to our ultimate goal, which is to bring people together to experience the power of design.

We hope you enjoy the show!

Kat Holmes Author, educator and advocate, Kat Holmes is Google’s Director of User Experience, and a former Director of Inclusive Design at Microsoft. In 2018, Holmes launched mismatch.design to promote the values of inclusivity in design, from the apps we interact with to the spaces we inhabit. Her award-winning toolkit, which outlines clear and simple steps to making diversity and disability a source of innovation, was recognized with an Interaction Design Association award, and was inducted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, prompting Fast Company to name Holmes one of 2017’s most creative people in business. Her book, Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design, was released last September, and explores the ways that technology can amplify barriers to access—and the ways it can help to improve inclusivity.

Marina Tabassum Since founding her practice in 2005, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum has followed an approach to design that grounds a modern sensibility in vernacular-inspired forms.

The resulting structures and interiors—often community-centred projects, such as public schools, museums and eco-tourism destinations—are undeniably contemporary, yet remain firmly rooted in their place of origin. Before launching her eponymous firm, Tabassum founded URBANA, which completed two landmark projects, the Independence Monument of Bangladesh and the Museum of Independence. Tabassum also serves as the academic director for the Bengal Institute for Architecture, Landscapes and Settlements, and sits on the steering committee of the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture.

WEISS | MANFREDI Under the direction of cofounders Marion Weiss and Michael Manfredi, New York architecture firm Weiss/Manfredi has gained an international reputation for visionary projects that integrate landscape, art, infrastructure and architecture. The firm is perhaps best known for its expansive landscape projects, such as the Olympic Sculpture Park at the Seattle Art Museum, which joins an outdoor sculpture gallery and a beach across a challenging remediated post-industrial site—a scheme that garnered an armful of awards, including top honours in the Nature category at the World Architecture Festival and multiple AIA awards. The firm is currently at work on the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, Yale University’s Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking, and a museum expansion for Florida’s Artis–Naples arts centre.

Mick McConnell, in conversation with Dan Howarth of Dezeen Drawing from a long and varied career that has touched on everything from digital, graphic and retail design; product, retail and project development; and strategy and creative direction, Mick McConnell is now turning his attention to the future of workplace design. In conversation with Dan Howarth, U.S. editor at Dezeen, McConnell explains the focus of his role at WeWork—an international company that provides shared workspaces for startups, freelancers, small businesses and Fortune 500 companies. As the VP and head of WeWork’s concept studio, McConnell creates and experiments across many scales, from objects to strategies, and brings ideas to reality faster by bridging between groups, from research to implementation. By creating a test case for emerging technologies, piloting new ideas, and storytelling to spark discussion and action, he’s helped WeWork to rapidly grow into one of the largest tech companies in the world.

AZURE Trade Talks.

Friday, January 18, 2019

Lyndon Neri & Rossana Hu, Neri&Hu IDS19 International Guests of Honour The husband-and-wife team of Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu reject all preconceptions.

That means the founders of Neri&Hu Design and Research Office place no boundaries around the type of design work they do (or where they do it). As a result, Neri&Hu is as interdisciplinary as it’s possible for a design practice to be, taking on everything from master planning, architecture and interior design to graphic and product design.

Both Neri and Hu moved to the United States from Asia in their teens, ultimately meeting as architecture students at the University of California in Berkeley.

After spending over a decade working in the offices of other architects (Neri with Michael Graves; Hu with Graves, Ralph Lerner, SOM and The Architects Collaborative), the pair founded their own firm in 2004, and relocated to Shanghai, later opening a satellite office in London.

Today, the firm’s staff is as varied as its output, and speaks over 30 languages—all part of Neri&Hu’s goal of “responding to a global worldview incorporating overlapping design disciplines for a new paradigm in architecture.”

Although neither partner grew up in Shanghai, they’re both influenced by the city’s position at a “new global frontier”;

its diverse cultural, urban and historic contexts provide inexhaustible sources of inspiration. But ultimately, every project they take on begins with a clean slate, and their explorations into the history of a site, a detail or a material serve as the nucleus around which a concept grows— “Research” is a part of the firm’s name for good reason.

As a result, their output is wide-ranging.

One of their early successes, The Waterhouse at South Bund, is a retrofit to a 1930s-era army headquarters that juxtaposes the time-worn concrete building against striking additions in weathering steel, stark white walls and modern fixtures. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the pair’s design for the high-end furniture retailer Design Republic (which they also co-founded) pairs a thoroughly contemporary gallery-like interior with an angular exterior clad in striking patterned skin.

Still, there are some common threads that tie together nearly everything Neri&Hu produces: a palpable sense of quality, in both materials and craft, luxurious contemporary forms infused with a sense of tradition, and a sense of curiosity that leads to unexpected places.

PRESENTED BY

Michael Sørensen of Henning Larsen.

Since 2016, Michael Sørensen has been a partner at Henning Larsen Architects, the internationally renowned Danish firm founded in 1959. In his work, Sørensen focuses on civic institutions like city halls, educational facilities and large commercial buildings, and how they are evolving to meet the challenges of the current era. For projects as the Uppsala City Hall in Sweden and Minneapolis City Hall, Sørensen’s leadership is informed by the Scandinavian ideals of transparency, democracy and civic engagement; a key part of Sørensen’s approach is to open dialogue with the public during planning, enlisting the people for whom a building is intended as contributors to its design. Currently underway is the Etobicoke Civic Centre in Toronto, a 46,500-square-metre complex comprising service centre, library, daycare and more, all knitted together with a series of climatemodulating squares and courtyards that will extend the use of its outdoor areas by five weeks a year.

Marije Vogelzang.

Food designers design food, but Marije Vogelzang designs the act of eating, taking inspiration from food’s origins, its preparation, and the politics, history and culture of eating. Marije graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2000 where she originally started working with food. Vogelzang began her career as an “eating designer” with two experimental restaurants, in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, conceived as design studios with restaurants inside; every detail, from the cutlery to the teabags, is custom made.

Broadening her role from restaurateur to what Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant describes as the “grand dame” of eating design, Vogelzang now takes on all types of food-related projects—new eateries, product design, initiatives for hospitals, exhibition design and curation, and even social projects and education. Vogelzang also founded the Dutch Institute of Food & Design in 2016 and also heads a new food design department at the Design Academy Eindhoven, called Food non Food.

TIOMOS HIDDEN HINGE SYSTEM

The new era for furniture doors. Hinge comfort becomes virtually invisible.

Intelligent. Elegant. Hidden.

Discreet shape. Clever functionality.

With a 105-degree opening angle, the slender Tiomos Hidden hinge can be optimally incorporated into doors with a thickness of just 18 mm or above.

Tiomos Hidden – the perfectly integrated hinge inside the cabinet.

With Tiomos Hidden, GRASS presents a hinge system that is entirely milled into the cabinet. Slender in design, this hinge plays to its multifaceted functional strengths behind the scenes. Amongst others, these include the perfectly integrated comfort system for gentle closing. In the colour option Night, Tiomos Hidden also impresses in combination with the latest design trends favouring dark surface finishes.

Ryan Korban, in conversation with Randi Bergman, Style Contributor.

As a designer, Ryan Korban draws more heavily on the influences that move him than on formal training. Taking inspiration from sources that can range from impressionist paintings to fashion photography, Korban combines color, form and texture to bring his unique vision of luxury, old-world romance and urban cool to life. Korban’s portfolio includes a wide array of sumptuous private residences for A-list clients from the worlds of couture, film and music. But Korban’s best-known interiors are open to the public: it was his sleek and refined spaces for top-tier fashion boutiques, including Fivestory, and Edon Manor,as well as Altuzarra, and Alexander Wang showrooms in Manhattan, and multiple Balenciaga flagship stores in New York and Madrid, which prompted Vogue magazine to brand him “fashion’s favourite interior designer.”

The images inside Brian Gluckstein’s recent national bestseller, The Art of Home, illustrate the distinguished mix of luxury and livability that led Andrew Martin’s Interior Design Journal to call Gluckstein one of the top 35 designers in the world—just one of the many accolades he has accumulated over the years. In the pages of House & Home magazine and as a frequent guest on Cityline for over 20 years, Gluckstein has introduced a wide audience to his beautiful interiors for private residences from Aspen to Miami, and internationally recognized hospitality spaces like the Four Seasons Hotel in Palm Beach. These interiors have inspired Gluckstein’s eponymous line of homewares, including furniture, tabletop, bedding and décor items, as well as a paint collection with Benjamin Moore and a line of fine china for Lenox.

2019 IDS Show Guide_ver2.indd 48

Since founding House & Home magazine in 1986, Lynda Reeves has become synonymous with design and decorating in Canada. The magazine has grown to become one of North America’s most popular design lifestyle publications, spawning the French-language version Maison & Demeure, as well as countless special-interest publications in print and digital formats. In 1998, Reeves launched a daily television program focused on design, gardening, decorating and food, which was the first of its kind, and aired in several countries for nine seasons; today House & Home programming is available for streaming across multiple platforms. The success of Reeves’s media empire spurred the creation of shophouseandhome.com, which offers a curated selection of design and home décor objects. Meanwhile, Reeves continues to write her monthly column in House & Home magazine, and to complete select residential interior design projects through her in-house studio.

Nam Dang-Mitchell.

Long featured in the pages of Canadian shelter magazines, Nam Dang-Mitchell was named House & Home’s designer of the year in 2018. The interior designer’s spaces strike a delicate balance between classic and edgy, merging disparate styles into a seamlessly chic and livable whole.

Dang-Mitchell often animates her neutral-toned colour palettes with layers of patterns and textures that keep even formal spaces warm and lively. Her keen eye for combining furniture, accessories and fabrics from different styles and eras is especially evident in her ability to select distinctively modern furniture and lighting pieces that are full of personality but still harmonize with an interior’s overall look. Dang-Mitchell lives in Calgary, where she has recently expanded her practice to include a residential townhouse development.

Beth Hitchcock.

Beth Hitchcock brings a lifelong passion for words and decorating — along with 20 years of experience in the magazine industry — to her role as Editor-in-Chief of House & Home magazine. With a keen eye for design, a journalism degree and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction Writing, Beth has written about and worked with some of Canada’s top designers, stylists and photographers. She has appeared regularly on TV and radio, and been a guest lecturer at colleges and universities across Canada. In her free time, Beth loves to travel (Marrakech is next on her list), watch baseball and putter around her century home in Toronto’s east end.

Concept House, Great Lakes Cabin.

When it comes to building archetypes, it’s tough to think of one more quintessentially Canadian than the cabin in the wilderness—a category of architecture that evokes the romantic idea of escaping into our uncharted northern hinterland. With the Great Lakes Cabin, Backcountry Hut Company proves that just because your getaway is in a rustic location doesn’t mean it can’t be modern and comfortable. Leckie Studio conceived the Great Lakes Cabin as a premade kit of parts that could simplify the construction of smallscale structures on remote sites. Although the structure is compact, at 670 square feet, it maximizes its footprint to pack a living and dining area, a sleeping loft and a bathroom into a sturdy structure capable of withstanding even the harshest weather conditions—and it can be customized to meet strict environmental standards. The Great Lakes Cabin also boasts expansive windows to take in sweeping views of Canada’s beautiful outdoors, as exemplified at IDS by Flattery Design’s landscape treatment: its outdoor seating area, rendered in steel, granite, concrete and wood, and surrounded by greenery, is warmed by a wood-burning fire pit.

Concept Space, Re-Space.

With the addition of digital technology, the dimensions of the spaces we occupy shift and multiply. For Re-Space, four architect and design teams have developed forward-thinking interior environments enhanced with integrated technology provided by Microsoft Surface, and housed in refurbished shipping-container by Giant Containers. Within these experimental spaces, Polymétis, Harrison Fae Design, Studio AC and SDI Design—four local firms working at the forefront of architecture, sculpture, and residential, hospitality and workplace interior design— explore the question of how new digital technologies will continue to shape our individual and shared experiences of the physical environment. How will we live, work, play and learn when technology has changed the ways we interact with each other and with the world around us? And how can designers building for this changing landscape ensure that the interiors they create have the agility to adapt to the ways that people will inhabit them both today and in the future?

Ontario Wood Installation.

Seeds By Marije Vogelzang.

The Ontario Wood pavilion demonstrates the diversity and versatility of the wood harvested from our province’s forests in all its glory. Manufacturers showcase the many product categories that locally sourced wood can become—from log homes, structural lumber and surfacing to furniture and artisanal goods. This year, Ontario Wood is housed in a custom environment by local firm Izen Architecture, a firm devoted to smallscale designs that range from products and installations to single-family homes.

Their sculptural pavilion comprises intersecting rows of angled wooden beams that combine to form a striking circular gathering space that evokes a campsite inside a forest clearing.

Caesarstone presents a sensory odyssey by Dutch eating designer Marije Vogelzang, continuing the annual feature that has seen the premium quartz surfacing manufacturer collaborate with such eminent designers as Snarkitecture, Jaime Hayón, Raw Edges, Philippe Malouin and Tom Dixon. In Vogelzang’s vision, the kitchen’s discrete functions are broken down to reveal the fundamental ways the preparation and sharing of food drives human connection.

Her honeycomb-like installation will focus on the symbolism of the actions we carry out in the kitchen, eliminating extraneous noise, disruption and changing perspective on the simple act of eating.

The installation will send visitors along the symbolic journey of a seed returning to the earth inside a forest of ribbons heightening the sensory experience.
