Design Your Future
Interior Design Show 2020

– Jan 19 2020
exhibition
IDS brings together over 53,000 of the world’s leading products, companies, and change-makers to inspire and transform the future of design.
Held every January for 4 days, IDS celebrates and promotes design in Canada and across the world through a compelling showcase of new products, features, installations, prototypes, and big ideas. From emerging local designers to international legacy brands, we bring together the best in design and the thought leaders of both today and tomorrow. Over the last two decades, design has shifted from the aesthetics of style to a powerful tool for change. This year, IDS looks back at its history and ahead to its future. Hindsight may be 20/20, but at IDS, foresight is our focus.

For Toronto photographer Richard Johnson, large format digital photography is his way of documenting the structures that shape our cultures and communities, and preserving these places in a rapidly shifting world. 'Root Cellars' is Richard’s favourite kind of reveal – to find an understated anthropological occurrence, then document it through repetition.
