ISDS 2011

The Interior Design Show starts January 27th 2011

One of a Kind Show

I had a chance to visit the show on the last day and saw a few interesting items from Avril Loretti, String Theory, Bookhou and Biko Design:


Avril Loretti

String Theory

Hudson's Bay X Swiss Army

Canadian lifestyle label Hudson’s Bay has just released this Swiss Army Knife. First made in the late 1800’s in Ibach, Switzerland, this Swiss Army Knife latest design sports a multi-stripe pattern over a white background, typical of Hudson’s Bay. The knife is of course designed for an array of purposes and has therefore included both a large and small blade, a can and bottle opener, a reamer with sewing eye, a corkscrew, toothpick, tweezers and a keyring. Available at Hudson's Bay department stores in Toronto (Queen Street), Vancouver Downtown, Montreal Downtown, Banff, and at Colette in Paris.

Charcoal House

Designed by Reza Aliabadi in the east end of Toronto. Read the Globe and Mail feature here:

Featuring a Zinc Cladding system that curves to soften the sharp angles of the lower half constructed of black brick, glass and aluminum.
