CUTMR, Associates, Not Forkchops, Capacity // Toronto Design Festival

January 25th, 2012

It’s design week in Toronto! IDS is in full swing until the 29th but make sure you get to the satellite shows. There is a host of creative talent here (and less vacuum salesmen). You can find a list of the offsite events here. Make sure you get to the Gladstone Hotel’s Come Up to my Room, Imm Living’s Not Forkchops, Associates, and Capacity! It’s no surprise fellow DISPLAY’ers will be found. Good luck Brady Del Rosario, Michelle Ivankovic, Zoe Mowat, and Heather McGaw! Stay tuned for photos next week.
