Interior Design Show

February 5 to 8, 2009 marks the 11th anniversary of the Interior Design Show (IDS), Canada’s premiere platform for contemporary residential design. IDS is the complete design experience. Since the show’s inception, over half a million design professionals, discriminating consumers and media have attended the IDS in search of new products, ideas and inspiration. The first Interior Design Show was held in January 1999 with tremendous fanfare and was wildly received by the media, design trade and consumers alike. Attended by 25,000 visitors, it was an unprecedented event in North America that was launched by Wallpaper* Magazine founder, Tyler Brule and featured speakers like The Netherlands’ Droog Design’s Gijs Bakker and American Furniture designer and manufacturer, Holly Hunt. Canada’s leading interior design firms, Cecconi Simone, Del Terrelonge, Gluckstein Design Planning, and Powell & Bonnell each created a 600-square-foot living space reflecting the most current in residential design trends and 275 exhibitors showed the best in design. www.interiordesignshow.com
