Diesel x Foscarini Lighting

I mentioned how much I liked the Diesel x Foscarini Lighting in my IDS10: I want – I got Favourite Things Part 1 post. The photos were just a small subset of what is available. I got a catalogue and scanned it.

Diesel x Foscarini Lighting is available at the Diesel store in Montreal and Lightform’s Toronto and Vancouver locations

At IDS10 I discovered SLIDE through their Concord based rep, Company B Inc. I grabbed their 2009 catalogue and found so many beautiful images of SLIDE products in use that I thought I would share. I thank my trusty scanner on days like this.

This swing is amazing. Must aquire old tree and backyard

Since its foundation in 2002, SLIDE has been satisfying functional and aesthetic home living needs through innovative and practical products with a clean ironic design, light and always breathtaking: not simply furnishing items but products which radiate light. This is a characteristic feature of all SLIDE products.

There are three constant elements in production: the simplest plastic material – polyethylene –, the production technique – rotational moulding – and the creativity of the Italian and international designers involved with many catalogue products. Innovative, diverse and constantly updated, the SLIDE production range includes seats, tables, lamps, vases, bookcases and other items which combine just the right input of light with a lively choice of colour in a strong distinctive way, creating a unique suggestive atmosphere. Backed up by the “Made in Italy” stamp as a guarantee of quality and excellence, SLIDE products are designed to furnish modern living areas, whether domestic or public, interiors or exteriors.

Since 2007, SLIDE production has been joined by SLIDE Events, a service company for the running of private and company events, from the hire, transportation and assembly of SLIDE products to complete management of the entire project anywhere in the world: from concept development and layout planning to consultancy in searching for the location and coordinating
partners.

I love wandering the aisles of The Interior Design Show floor scanning for things that catch my eye. This year Paul and I avoided the products. We were on a tight timeline and learned what to focus on from last year. Sleek kitchen appliance and tiling are not things I’m too interested in or have use for on I want – I got. This is the final post in my three part series called IDS10: I want – I got Favourite Things.

IDS10 Favourite Things Andrew Richard Designs x Bustle
Andrew Richard Designs x Bustle – Designers pairing up with Designers for a range of outdoor furniture based on the Spring 2010 Collection.

IDS10 Favourite Things Smash
Smash – I loved the mismatch bookshelves with strategically placed lights

Balance Glassworks – What a novel concept for display and space saving. Note: This image was incorrectly tagged as Tsunami Glassworks in Part 2. The correct image now displays so visit Part 2 to see.

IDS2010 Favourite Things Slide

Slide – The glowing lamps attracted me. The lookbook has more goodies that I will scan and share soon

The opening night party for The Interior Design Show 2010 was way more stylish this year than last. It was a little surprising considering the venue.

IDS2010 Favourite Things Rado x Jasper Morrison
Rado x Jasper Morrison – Beautiful watches. Love the sleek, black and minimal design.

EDIT: Jan 29, 2010 late night blogging. Not good. Wrong picture was attached originally. Corrected picture is above. Tsunami Glassworks – It was the first thing I saw as my head peaked over the escalator stairs. It’s an attention grabber and reminds me of a large lava lamp minus the glass and fluid.

IDS10: I want - I got Favourite Things Jamie Hayon
Jamie Hayon – I was sad to miss his talk on Trade Day. I also left the party at Jonathan + Olivia party as he was arriving. So, I didn’t get to meet him.

Foscarini x Diesel – I couldn’t believe any of these gorgeous fixtures were associated with Diesel. I’m impressed.

IDS10: I want - I got Favourite Things Tahir Mahmood
Tahir Mahmood – This was my absolute favorite artist of the night. The wood mortal and pestles are so beautiful. The fact that Tahir can move from wood to ceramic lamps with ease is amazing.

IDS10: I want - I got Favourite Things Cubeshops
Cubeshops – I can’t believe I didn’t know this store is on Baldwin Street in Toronto. It’s super kawaii and I squealed like a little girl with every new discovery.

IDS10: I want - I got Favourite Things Science & Sons
Science & Sons – This radio totally tugged at the nationalistic heartstrings. It’s just so…Canada.

Interior Design Show 2010 IDS2010

The Interior Design Show is coming up. I had such a great time with Paul Baik who took some beautiful pictures. You can see our adventures at The Interior Design Show in 2009.

For 12 years, IDS10 has offered the finest, latest and most innovative in international and Canadian design
products. With a cutting-edge line up of 300+ exhibitors and design features, this year’s show runs January 21-24, 2010 at its NEW downtown location, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Also new this year, IDS10 is part of the inaugural, TORONTO INTERNATIONAL DESIGN FESTIVAL/TIDF
presented by RADO and AUDI which runs January 20 – 24, 2010. TIDF, created by IDS and Merchandise Mart
Properties Inc. Canada/MMPI Canada, is an annual citywide showplace of design. With partners such as AGO,
DX/Design Exchange and IDS, this five-day festival will celebrate Toronto as a major design destination.

Watch the following video to get an idea of what to expect this year.

I love that IDS2010 is at the Metro Convention Centre this year. Mostly because I work right across the road from it. I always look forward to seeing the products and designs. I’m really looking forward to hearing Award-winning Spanish artist/designer Jaime Hayón.
