Interior Design Show 2018

Attending the Interior Design Show has become an annual tradition for me. It's one of my favourite design events of the year and has proven to be a valuable source of inspiration for both my career in the industry and my general interest in design, as well as a great platform for networking.

At this year's event, there was a definitive focus on minimalist design. From the brass, geometric light fixtures by Matthew McCormick Studio to the modest nu-Scandinavian handmade furniture by Kroft, many of the exhibitors featured their work in simple displays where the product, if not minimalistic in design, was minimal in presentation - a major contrast from years past. As always, I loved the Prototype and Studio North booths which featured custom works and products by emerging Canadian designers, such as Contour & Co. and Amulette. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Rose's Warm Winter House Show

Earlier this year, my dear friend Rose hosted the coziest show I've ever been to in her own home. This winter warmer was the perfect respite from the relentless, bitter cold, and an intimate way to hear some of Toronto's emerging musical talent. Rose herself is a talented singer/songwriter and performed alongside accomplished local artists Henry Nozuka, Anna Horvath of Merival, Sheila Hart of Common Deer, and Daniel Walker of Owen Meany's Batting Stance. I can't think of a better way to spend one of the coldest weekends in recent history than with talented friends, hot cider, and good music.

Check out their work!
