Letter from the publisher With the endless choice of products available to the A&D community, it makes selecting the right product to specify increasingly difficult. From the first Design Source Guide in 2009 to this, our fourth edition, our aim has remained the same: to create the ultimate Product Sourcing tool for design professionals. Due to the high demand, we will be publishing a second edition of the DSG this fall, and our redesigned online DSG is available now. Over the next few months, we will continue to update and add products to the online DSG. For the second year, we have partnered with THINK:Material, the curated exhibit of innovative and sustainable materials at the IIDEX/NeoCon Canada trade show. Starting on page 22, you’ll find an editorial report featuring an inspiring collage of unique and creative materials and products. To see an even bigger selection, visit the THINK:Material exhibit at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, which runs September 20-21 at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. In our continued quest to provide design professionals with the latest information on all aspects of the industry, we have just conducted the first ever “Canadian Interior Design Benchmarking and Best Practice Study,” a joint research study by Canadian Interiors and Interior Designers of Canada (IDC), which is now available at www.canadianinteriors.com/benchmark. Canadian Architect and Architecture Canada (RAIC) conducted the second “Canadian Architectural Practices Benchmarking Study,” which is also available, at www.canadianarchitect.com/benchmark. Both studies aim to provide in-depth industry facts in terms of overall size, growth, compensation structure, billings and commissions, with the ultimate aim of providing industry decision-makers and practitioners valuable information as they establish plans for the future. We hope that the Design Source Guide will be a valuable resource for sourcing interesting products. Should you require additional copies, please email circulation@canadianinteriors.com.

What’s new? A revamped and revitalized IIDEX/NeoCon Canada features innovative materials from around the world. —By Michael Totzke For those of us who look forward to IIDEX/NeoCon Canada coming around again every September, our anticipation in 2012 is quickened. Earlier this year, the announcement of a key collaboration had the design and architectural communities abuzz: joining forces for the very first time, the IDC (Interior Designers of Canada) and Architecture Canada|RAIC would co-present IIDEX/NeoCon Canada. In other words, Canada’s National Design + Architecture Exposition & Conference would receive a major shot in the arm. We can’t wait to see the results. For the past 27 years, IIDEX/NeoCon Canada has been the country’s most comprehensive expo and conference for the design, construction and management of the built environment – offering trade professionals (working in all areas of design, from office, hospitality and healthcare to institutional, residential and retail) the latest products, education and networking opportunities. With the RAIC joining IDC as co-presenter, the show’s multidisciplinary focus expands to include a significant new section, the Architectural Canada Expo, offering architects and interior designers a broader area of products. Other expos-within-the-expo abound, covering a multitude of subjects: Light Canada, Hospitality Canada, Healthcare Canada, Education Canada, Landscape Architecture, Textile Design, Retail Design and Workplace Design. And one other, my personal favourite: the Material World Expo, a showcase for material suppliers of all products, including glass, wood, metal, plastics, laminates, stone and textiles. It includes THINK:Material, one of IIDEX/NeoCon Canada’s most popular exhibits, featuring innovative materials from around the world. These materials are collected by the IIDEX team, working with Ryerson University undergraduates from the architectural science and interior design programs, namely Betty Vuong, Ivan Vasyliv, Setareh Shams and Julianna Kaiser; guest curator Jim Salazar; and a CEU education program. In the following pages, we present 47 fantastic materials, more than half of which are new to IIDEX/NeoCon Canada this fall (the rest were highlights of last year’s show). They come from companies here, there and everywhere – from Canada, the United States, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands to India, China, Korea, Japan, Thailand and the Philippines. Intriguing items include light-reflecting concrete, leather coated in metallic foil, hand-pounded bark, glass applied to a mirrored background, resin that reflects and refracts light. and wallcovering made of water hyacinths. To see more materials, visit thinkmaterial.ca. Plan to experience THINK:Material 2012, part of IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, which runs at Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre September 20-21.

Design with Purpose™ Raw™ a pattern evoking the compelling aesthetic that aging often can yield, is the latest of Interface’s many i2™ styles, offering non-directional installation and mergeable dye lots. The inspiration for this new modular carpet tile design was organic deconstruction; stripping away layers to find the unexpected beauty underneath. Think eroding concrete, peeling paint or aged velvet, which, over time, expose a layering that’s artful and dynamic. It also features an exceptionally plush hand that translates into irresistible luxury. What’s more, the beauty of Raw is beyond skin-deep because it is produced from the groundbreaking 100 percent non-virgin yarn that combines reclaimed carpet fibre with salvaged fishing nets. 866 398-3191

Design with Purpose™ Walk the Plankx™ is a clever twist on the common carpet tile, with a long, narrow 25cm-x-1m measurement designed to mimic the size of timeworn timber, and the warmth and familiarity of wood grain. Taking cues from the company’s love of repurposed materials, Walk the Plank references the eccentric qualities of deeply-grooved timbers with a bold range of values from light to dark within each of its eight colours. This shift in format creates new design opportunities, bringing long, lean lines to the ashlar method and distinctive scale and movement to herringbone applications. It can also be paired with traditional 50cm x 50cm tiles. Walk the Plank also boasts a strong sustainability message with 100 percent non-virgin yarn that combines reclaimed carpet fibre with salvaged fishing nets. 866 398-3191
