IDS11 eye candy

Everywhere I looked at IDS11, there was something awesome to see. Prepare to be awed and amazed with some serious IDS11 eye candy!

{I’ve included the sources wherever possible, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I was a bit distracted and didn’t always get the names of the artisans or booths. If you know the source for something you see here, please leave a comment and let me know so I can give proper credit.}

First of all, I have to share the best eye candy of all – the TBBs + Escort! ;-)

Thanks ladies & Graham for the fun & laughs & good times!

Edgewater Studio may have been everybody’s favourite booth – Twitter and blogs have been on fire over the last few days with people gushing over these gorgeous tiles! This is the only picture I managed to get – the booth was packed with people!

My friend Nicole managed to get this picture.

And a couple of pictures from the Edgewater web site.

 

These are two of my favourite booths in Studio North. Andrew Ooi is a self-taught Toronto artist who puts his own spin on origami to create one-of-a-kind light fixtures and artwork.

And Gilbert Vanden Heuvel has combined his love for cycling and metal work to design furniture, accessories, and art from old bicycle parts – literally reCYCLING!

AM Studio was one of my favourite booths last year. They were back again this year with more gorgeous light fixtures.

 

And more gorgeous lighting. Aren’t these wood light fixtures totally fab? From The Carroll Street Woodworkers (thanks Patsy at Our Journey!!)

This is a recreation of an old glass chandelier.

Loved Eurolite’s booth.

I wouldn’t mind this diamond!

Love these huge glass lamps in the Frini Furniture booth. The credenza is pretty awesome too – isn’t it cool how it looks like molten metal? But the surface is totally smooth.

Commute Home created this funky urban light installation.

Brass Moroccan-inspired light fixtures from Snob.

Love this huge crystal chandelier, but can’t remember which booth it was in. {Thanks again to Patsy at Our Journey for letting me know that the next two pics are from the UpCountry booth} :-)

The Union Jack was popular! {Picture taken by my friend Nicole}

Believe it or not, these gorgeous flowers are made from Corian! Designed by Pascale Girardin.

And this super-cool hanging chair is Corian too! Designed by the guys at Earth Inc.

Adorable felt cushion in the Sheridan student exhibit.

I can’t for the life of me remember which booth this was, but how cool is this vent hood with the city skyline?

Some cool installations…

And of course, what’s a design show without furniture – love this tire chair, appropriately called Tire-E.

 

Alfred Sung’s limited edition Blackwatch Tartan outdoor furniture – available only at IDS11!  But don’t worry, he has some other cool designs coming out soon…

Some cool pieces from Studio North…

     

Awesome layered wood doors on this credenza from Cabinet Furniture.

I am so digging these glass bamboo tiles from Saltillo.

I could go on, but you get the picture – design fabulousness everywhere you looked! My next IDS post will be about the Sibling Revelry exhibit, which was a big hit. Don’t miss it!
