Dispatches from Toronto: Studio North at IDS

Guest Contributor post by Renee Elliott of Eat.Live.Shop

Brothers Dressler installation featuring custom light fixtures.

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days at the Interior Design Show (IDS) this week and I left each day feeling super inspired. My favourite part of the show was the Studio North exhibit which supports the independent design scene. There were 60 Canadian and international designers each featuring one offs and custom collections.

Carroll Street Studio exhibit highlighting their Wharton collection made from salvaged fir and walnut.

Atelier 688 exhibit featuring their original Manila rope lights and Contact Voyaging Co’s paddles.

Atelier des Cent-ans exhibit highlighting their furniture and porcelain objects.

The designers in the Studio North section of IDS are full of creative and unique ideas. My favourite item? That painted cherry branch from Carroll Street Studio!
