Never before has design been so alive
in the city. Both a bustling cultural hub and
the fastest growing city in condo development, Toronto is an inspiring backdrop
for the 14th annual Interior Design Show.
The Interior Design Show warmly welcomes
Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni as its
inaugural International Guest of Honour. For almost
20 years Lissoni Associati has designed private
homes, yachts, hotels and other singular spaces,
as well as furniture and products for Lema, Porro,
Glas Italia, Living Divani, Poltrona Frau and more.
Lissoni will speak at the Conversations In Design
symposium and at the IDS opening night party. He
is also creating a site-specific 1,200-square-foot
installation of his work, right on the show floor.

This year’s programming is nothing short of inspired.
We’re presenting the latest furniture and product launches
(this year we sold out exhibit space faster than ever
before, a testament to the growing market and demand
for design). We’re featuring the top designers and practitioners from across the globe, like Italian architect Piero
Lissoni, our first-ever International Guest of Honour. And
we’re creating the most envelope-pushing environments –
like this year’s How Do You Live? exhibit and the 10th
annual Studio North showcase of Canadian design – to
challenge your perceptions and ignite your senses.
Never before has there been such an interest in the
culture of design. This year marks the inaugural year of
IDS Platform, our week-long cultural design festival that
brings high-end cultural design to downtown Toronto.
Enjoy film screenings, interactive exhibits, installations
and lectures, as well as this year’s Conversations in Design
symposium, Trailblazing & Trendspotting, which hosts
luminaries from as far as Sweden, Denmark and Italy.
We want to welcome back our title sponsor, RADO,
returning for its third year, as well as this year’s new
additions. We also want to thank IDS Platform sponsors
Audi and RADO for helping to make Toronto an innovative
hotspot for culture and design.
So welcome to the Interior Design Show and IDS
Platform, and enjoy what it has to offer you.

How do you challenge traditional ideas
on what makes a great living space?
Build an unabashedly contemporary
one right on the show floor. Here’s
a sneak peak at the creative minds
behind the exhibit
The Rooms
Mazen el-Abdallah
THE ROOM IN ONE WORD
→ Mazen el-Abdallah
“Layered”
Best known for: Gorgeous residences across
the city, plus interiors for the likes of Untitled
Films and Richmond Optometry.
Modus operandi: “I always approach a new
space with some idea or concept that I think will
resonate with the occupant. So it’s important
that I spend time understanding the client and
their nuances.”
Behind the scenes: “My installation, Reading
Space, asks us to stop and ponder the stories
behind the objects we collect and live with.”
The Exterior
Mazyar Mortazavi
of TAS DesignBuild
THE EXHIBIT IN ONE WORD
“Moment”
↑ Mazyar Mortazavi of TAS DesignBuild
For over 15 years, Mazyar Mortazavi has contributed to
Toronto’s growing skyline with such projects as the LEEDcertified M5V Condominiums. “We’ve always been interested
in looking at the innovative aspect of housing,” he says. “We
wanted to see how you can take a series of unconventional
things, place them under a conventional structure and create
an experience out of them that people can respond to.” The
developer/designer maverick reveals a few key details behind
his innovative outer shell for the exhibit.
Basic idea: “The concept started with us asking what a modern
interpretation of a dollhouse would be. Our response was
stacked shipping containers.”
Behind the scenes: “We’ve been pushing and exploring how
these spaces can all begin to correlate, and what their relationship is to the spaces between the boxes themselves. How do
you create a courtyard? How do you create a garden? How do
you create a rooftop?”
Main idea: “We believe that movement through space needs to
be an experience. It’s not as though you’re just walking in front
of one box and then another – you’re actually moving through
a sequence of spaces. It becomes an experience of the entire
thing rather than these isolated boxes.”
Goal: “We’re allowing people to think twice about what they’re
used to – breaking the mould. Some people might like it, and
some might hate it, but as long as it instigates thought and provokes conversation, we’re getting what we wanted out of this.”
8 / InteriorDesignShow.com
→ Ashley Rumsey and Stanley Sun
from Mason
Best known for: This multidisciplinary studio
has worked with Sony, Adidas and W Hotels (in
a collaboration with Yabu Pushelberg).
Modus operandi: “We always start with defining
a concept. Setting a clear stream of thought
sets a framework for the duration of the project,”
says Rumsey.
Behind the scenes: To create its space, Mason
explored the “primitive rituals” that take place in
the kitchen and bathroom.
↘ Youssef Hasbani
Best known for: His sleek and serene furniture
and accessories boutique, L’atelier, in Toronto’s
Rosedale neighbourhood.
Modus operandi: “I like simplicity with a twist.”
Behind the scenes: The designer/retailer is
creating an enveloping oasis that leads out to an
exterior courtyard in which he hopes to embody
the silence of a desert night. “I am hoping that
show-goers will want to spend the night.”
→→ Theresa Casey and Robert Gray
Best known for: Interior designer Theresa
Casey and graphic designer Robert Gray
previously collaborated on The Red Box, an
exhibition that used WWII periscopes and
viewfinders to explore how designers shape
points of view.
Modus operandi: “Make it relevant, make it
work, make it sing!” says Casey.
Behind the scenes: For this installation, the
duo delved into intensive research behind sleep
and dreaming.

Best known for: The Corus Quay

Behind the scenes: “Our process for this
project is non-linear iterative and collaborative,” says Mugford. “All our ideas are laid
out to think about.”
↑ Jill Greaves
Best known for: Interiors for the National
Ballet School, Yale University and (the
now-defunct) Xacutti restaurant.
Modus operandi: “Eliminate the negatives,
and the answers are all within your reach.”
Behind the scenes: “This project is fun
because it is more like a little stage set
than a room installation. It should feel timeless, gorgeous and make an impression.”
