IDS registration opens

TORONTO – The registration desk for the first in-person edition of the Toronto Interior Design Show (IDS) to be held since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic is now open. It will be held in the South Building of the Metropolitan Toronto Convention Centre here from April 7 to 10.

This year’s presenting sponsor will be the Canadian branch of major appliance resource Miele, while its theme will be New Futures, reflecting Canadian design within a global context catalyzing new ideas, solutions and expression featuring fresh branding by Sali Tabacchi, the Toronto based design studio.

“Design solves problems and inspires innovation,” says Lisa Barnes, director of Informa Canada, the event organizers. “The IDS team continues its over 20-year legacy of supporting emerging design ideas, providing a platform for challenging dialogue and uniting the entire ecosystem of design and architecture. We lean into a new sustainable future of design challenges and triumphs. We are ecstatic to be working side by side with the industry’s most creative minds, local makers and global brands this April.”

“Miele is committed to supporting the design and architecture industry, and we are delighted to return to IDS 2022 as Presenting Show Sponsor,” Nelson Fresco, president of Miele Canada said. “With the return of live events, Miele stands by our commitment to Immer Besser (Forever Better) by returning with our most expansive showcase of the Miele brand and appliances to date.”

Adaptation and change are key to success in the industry as design conventions, processes and technology are what allow the industry to grow and evolve. IDS Toronto will be hosting a program of 40-plus accredited seminars taking place on the exposition’s trade days, April 7 and 8, 2022.

For the first time, IDS Toronto has engaged a guest curator to assemble its trade conference program. Writer and former editor of Designlines Magazine Tory Healy will create a diverse schedule of programming drawing from her experience. Dedicated to storytelling and a champion of Canadian design, Healy is thrilled to curate the conference series at IDS Toronto with the goal of sparking frank conversations, sharing vital information, and igniting change in the design industry.
