Ikea

Ikea’s team of stylists have a certain Scandinavian magic that makes sleek, minimalistic interiors most desirable. Last year their bathroom showcase had us dreaming of furs and bronzed bathtubs. What they’ll show this year? Who knows, but we predict it’ll be on everyone’s minds for years to come.

Toronto Design Offsite Festival

Although not an official part of IDS the Toronto Design Offsite Festival is an integral part of the Design Show experience. Kicking off January 20th through January 26th, 2014 the TDOF is a non-profit, independent design festival that takes place in various locations all over Toronto. Including exhibits featuring toy car design, graphic design, and art exhibitions exploring urban planning in the city. TDOF is a great combination of local and international designers.
