‘IDS Targets the Right People’

Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick, IKEA: The show has now become an integral part of our marketing program. Our participation guarantees that we are reaching the most important influencers in the Canadian design community. IDS is an important opportunity for IKEA to showcase our products competitively against high-end offers and show key influencers that great design does not have to cost a lot of money. At the show, we are able to push the creative limits of our brand in a way that we cannot in other marketing vehicles.

Christopher Solar: Taking part in Studio North at IDS gives me a unique opportunity to get my work in front of hundreds of trade professionals, press and discerning customers, and all in the span of a few days. As an independent furniture designer and maker, I can’t imagine not being at IDS.

Rami Riad, Moroso USA: Exhibiting at IDS was a real pleasure. Being the biggest and the best interior design show in Canada helped us understand the Canadian market better. The diversity and the intimacy of the show are not to be missed.

Roman Cholasta, Interior Elements/Minotti: The Interior Design Show is a wonderful platform for local and international businesses to have a presence in the industry through the public eye. We chose IDS as part of our overall business and marketing strategy to reintroduce ourselves to designers, architects and private clients. Our display at the show was a true reflection of our business and the brands that we carry, fulfilled with elegance and modernism. As a team we are extremely proud of our decision to invest in such a large- scale show as IDS. It targeted the right people for us, allowing us to share our passion for Italian contemporary furniture. The feedback we got from the event was tremendous, giving our team the boost we needed to continue our ascension.
