The Interior Design Show (IDS) returns in January with its 2023 flagship tradeshow, IDS Toronto. The exposition takes place January 19 – 22, 2022 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building. 

Presented by Miele, IDS Toronto will explore design for a complex world with its theme, Moving Parts, exploring how interior designers, architects, and manufacturers have torn up the rulebook and innovated in the last three years.

In addition to highlighting Canadian design, IDS Toronto will be showcasing exhibitors from all around the world, giving visitors perspective on the future of design across the globe.

 

Highlights:

Studio North & Prototype 

Ever-popular Studio North and Prototype offer the country’s best glimpse at the stars of tomorrow. In Studio North a group of independent product designers exhibit their custom and one-off creations (including furniture and lighting, glass and ceramics, textiles and décor objects) within a gallery-like setting, while Prototype lets designers unveil innovative and avantgarde pieces that often experiment with cutting-edge materials and techniques. 

The District

The District is a popular design marketplace where visitors can buy products and accessories.

Seminars 

IDS Toronto will be hosting a program of 40+ accredited seminars taking place on the exposition’s trade days, January 19 and 20, 2023.
