IDS Interior Design Show & Opening Night Party 2016

Interior Design Show 2016 (IDS 2016) was a celebration of the best of design in Canada and internationally. It is always exciting to see all the hottest products and to learn from the experts in the industry. This year’s International Guest of Honour was British designer Tom Dixon.

Dixon‘s line of products, which is carried by Klaus in Toronto, features unique shapes such as molten globes, cog pendants as lights and hand beaten bowls as accessories.

Caesarstone also unveiled the first of four kitchens designed by Tom Dixon, using the themes of ice, fire, earth and air. The Toronto Ice Kitchen used inspiration from the Canadian winter with the palette of white and grey. The kitchen had various triangular prisms that gave it a stylized look. In addition, aluminum was used to physically support it.

Some of the other outstanding interior designers who participated at IDS 2016 were; Craig Dykers, Lee Broom, Candice Olson, Ora ïto, Omar Gandhi, Omer Arbel, Carrier and Company and Orlando Soria.

There were so many exhibits to look at throughout the evening, including:

Habitat for Humanity Canada, which featured a giant home made entirely out of multicoloured Mega Bloks, to raise awareness for the need for proper housing in Canada.
