Interior Design Show 2013 Opening Party

The Interior Design Show kicked off their 15th annual show with an impressively large opening party taking over the entire Metro Convention Centre’s North Building. Food stations, drink and cocktail booths were scattered throughout the exhibition floor, providing an exclusive and fun way to explore the show. Artists, designers, media and interior design lovers had the opportunity to bid on 19 different Blu Dot Real Good Chairs proceeds going to the ONEXONE children’s charity. Each chair featured a unique digital design by a designer, artist, fashion designer or illustrator. Last year the IDS chair auction raised over $30,000 benefitting ONEXONE.

We can see why Ikea won the IDS Gold Booth Award!

Also, it was great meeting and hanging out with Willy Chyr, a Chicago-based artist. His intricate balloon exhibit stole the show at IDS13 and his work was featured on the front page of the Toronto Star. We were lucky to go to the after party at Thompson Hotel with him!
