| IDS09 Unveils Plans for Opening-Night Party |
|
The opening-night party for the Interior Design Show—running February 5 to 8 at the Direct Energy Centre—will adopt an aMUSE theme. Faulhaber PR told BizBash that the launch of the 11th annual show will highlight "clever gastronomical creations and ingeniously delivered amuse-bouches." Scavolini, Dekla, and House & Home Media are presenting the event. (IDS marked its 10th anniversary this past February with a "Decadence"-themed party featuring a host of performers, including opera singers, burlesque dancers, and 30 live statues.)
The cocktail reception will provide an expected 5,000 guests with an opportunity to mingle and preview installations and exhibits like 5X5—presented by Samsung and The Globe and Mail and featuring five spaces designed by 64th and Queen, Castor, Earth Inc., Taylor Hannah Architect Inc., and Tomas Pearce Interior Design Consulting Inc. The Crystal Clear exhibit, presented by Audi and Azure, will showcase six installations featuring Swarovski Crystallized Elements by the likes of Brothers Dressler, Giannone Associates, and Jacques Bilodeau.
IDS guests of honour this year will include Ben van Berkel, UNstudio (Amsterdam), Christophe Delcourt (Paris), and Job Smeets and Nynke Tynagel of Studio Job (Antwerp)—all of whom are speakers on the show's Trade Day. Funds raised at the opening-night reception will support Princess Margaret Hospital.
