senior editor Morgan Michener shares what’s on her radar from IDS17.
Just like that, the Toronto interior style show is over for one more year. The four-day event did not disappoint, as well as was packed with excellent crucial notes as well as influenced design. I always discover it fascinating to see which products as well as innovation take off as well as ended up being must-haves or mainstays after the show. This year’s show left me inspired to embrace color at home, streamline my kitchen, take a look at terrazzo, celebrate new innovation as well as as always, support Canadian design. Click through to discover my top patterns as well as takeaways!
Color, in the kitchen? Yes! That’s what Grohe has so playfully provided with the new Semi-Pro Faucet. With silicone hoses that operate like a basic pull-down hose (without all the springs you normally see), this pared-down style uses a completely turning spray arm while the hose is held in location with a powerful magnet.
Right now they are offered in white as well as black matte, however over the next couple of months they’ll be offered in the fun colors visualized above. The hose colors are likewise interchangeable, so you can swap out the black as well as accept the fuchsia if you feel like a change.
The brand new Modulus Collection from DXV (Lixil Brands) was a showstopper. These pieces were just launched at the Kitchen & bath market Show, as well as they are beauties. Just look at those stunning sinks as well as accessories (notice the piece hiding the drain), and single-lever, low-profile vanity faucet.
The Quebec-based business Altea furniture gets as well as restores European antiques in addition to creating custom designs. Featured at the show was their iron dining table. Its striking shape as well as chestnut top can be personalized in many materials from marble to leather. Built for both indoor as well as outside applications, the table uses great deals of versatility.
Partisans as well as AyA Kitchens showcased a partnership called CUBI at the show. It’s a refreshing pared-down system made from maple that enables you to produce a design with modular storage. Seeing the application utilized in a kitchen area felt fresh as well as new.
One of my preferred tile companies, Montreal-based Céragrès, had a charming booth. A standout was the oversized hexagon tile made from porcelain to simulate the look of terrazzo. (I desire I needed a new floor!)
It was excellent to see the new situation collection from Cocoon Furnishings in person. They now offer custom-made situation products such as buffets as well as nightstands, all made in Canada. With total personalization offered from style, size, wood option (yes they are made from wood), surface as well as hardware, the line enables you to select it all. The retail bar has truly been set high with this introduction.
I am a huge believer in investing in great art as well as am in absolute like with these “Series 7” modern-inspired totem poles made from Canadian Douglas fir by Djuna Day Studios. To quote Ms. Day, “They hold the indicating that totems have always held, as well as bring it into our contemporary lives.”
