Toile Designer Club October 12, 2011 I spent this morning at Toile Designer Club, in Toronto, and what a delight it was. Members of CDECA were invited to Toile to hear 3 speakers representing some of the lines that they carry as well as peruse the showroom's many other lines and mingle with our peers. We were promised a wonderful atmosphere, and were not disappointed. First up was Hans-Christian Sanders to talk about his company: HC Sanders - Fine Bedding since 1885, from Germany that now has a flagship store in Toronto called H.C. Sanders. Luxurious yet technical and not for the faint of heart in regards to pricing but so nice it has this girl wondering how much is in the coin jar at the moment. Pietro Costantini Modern Italian Furniture was represented by their Canadian sales people who are headed to High Point Market in a few days to launch some new designs. I fall on both sides of the contemporary fence; I’m either shaking my head in bewilderment or falling in love, today I fell in love. I’m dreaming of the client that is dreaming of these designs in their home or office space. Does this client live in Tottenham or Alliston, perhaps Orangeville or Caledon? :)
Kravet was there as well featuring the New Barbara Barry line of fabrics called Indochine. Yummy. Enough said? Perhaps, but for those of you that love everything Asia has to offer but can’t get there here is a lovely video about the Indochine collection and the source of its inspiration. Barbara Barry took the photographs herself and narrates it as well. Enjoy! You know where to find me if you’re inspired by anything you read or see on the blog. Cheers Mary |
