| Lissoni - Photo by Rambling Renovators |
Not being in Toronto this weekend for the Interior Design Show is killing me, but I've hunted down a few good pics and links to whip up a "round-up" post of sorts. Loving the above photo of the lounge by architect, Piero Lissoni taken by Jennifer Flores' blog Rambling Renovators. Lissoni was the this year's international guest of honour, and has worked with well-known brands such as Kartell, Alessi, and Cassina.
Lissoni
The palette of creams, taupes, off-whites and light wood (reminds me of this post) and showcasing the pages of books, rather than their spines (reminds me of this post) totally has my head spinning with ideas in changing things up in our living room. Here's a couple more pictures of the Lissoni exhibit via Design Maze (below).

Argh! I'm so sad I had to cancel my Toronto trip. Thanks for sharing some pics, Jan. Want to come with me next year? ;)
I was just thinking of displaying my books the same way, and I'm glad to see an example of where it works so well.
Janis - I'll work on trying to fit into your suitcase now!
Wow! Super awesome to those stuffs!!
When I read the title, I said to myself "Did I miss meeting Jan? at IDS". Besides the show, there were fun design blogger events. I hope to meet you there next year.
