Our Top 5 Favorites from iSaloni 2013
Once again, iSaloni was nothing short of incredible. The world’s largest furniture fair in Milan, Italy brings together companies from all around the world to show off their newest designs. With over 2500 exhibitors spread throughout 21 pavillions and more than 2 million square feet to cover by foot in less than a week, you can imagine how important a good pair of shoes can be. This year the show hosted just shy of 325,000 guests who were lucky enough to get touch and feel some of the newest designs the world has seen. We thought we’d share our...

We are very proud to announce that we have recently teamed up with Wycliffe Homes, one of the most prestigious and enduring residential builders in the GTA. Started in 1951, Wycliffe is one of the oldest builders in the Greater Toronto Area and has built over 10,000 homes across Ontario…not too shabby! We were recently given the opportunity to sit with the owners to discuss a potential partnership in a current project that Wycliffe is building in Woodbridge. The Fairground Lofts, located in Old Woodbridge Village will feature 65 loft towns housed within 5 buildings as well as 2...
Progetti Releases New Designs
Progetti has recently released their new designs in time for the International Design Show, Macef, in Milan, Italy. Playing with different depths, materials, and their incredible creativity, I have to say that we are in love with the new collection. The Petali clock, Italian for petal (as in flower petal), is a recreation of a flower where you have the ability to rearrange the petals of the clock to create a new look. Available in 2 color combinations (red/yellow/orange or blue/purple), this clock is sure to make a statement anywhere in your home. My personal favorite is the Clock...
Designer Spotlight: Luca Nichetto
It’s hard to imagine someone at the young age of 36 could have enough time to play such a significant part in today’s world of modern design. Luca Nichetto, a native Venetian, has climbed his way towards to the top of the design world, with no intention of slowing down. Studying at the University of Architecture of Venice (IUAV), he earned a degree in Industrial Design and then went on to begin his career in 1999 working with a very familiar material to his hometown, Murano glass. From there, things began to fall into place and he teamed up...

Staff Picks: Holiday Edition
We got the team together and decided to each pick our favorite gift ideas for this wonderful (and probably very stressful) holiday season. Roberto: Art Toy Test’O Sale Price until Dec. 24th: $129.50/ea + tax “The Art Toy collection is definitely one of my favorite accessories we carry; each with their own personality bringing a little bit of life to each room. Although I am a fan of many, Test’O is definitely my number one. It actually caught my eye shopping in a ‘design’ department store in the center of Milan and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I am...
Sugar ‘n Spice & Everything…..ON SALE!
It’s that wonderful time of the year where we spend time with loved ones sipping caramel mochaccinos as we decorate our homes with holiday cheer, right? Oh wait, that’s only in the movies… Instead, driving from shopping mall to shopping mall looking for the perfect gift, endangering the lives of everyone around you as you battle for the last parking spot. Then you realize your in-laws are staying over and you don’t have an extra bed for them, then the panic really sets in and rather than those wonderful caramel mochaccinos, you decide to grab the bourbon and hope...
Jesse Has Arrived………
After many discussions over the years at iSaloni in Milano, we have decided that Jesse was a great fit for us and have dove in head first. We have just received our first showroom order and are slowly making space to show the fantastic collections of beds, bedroom furniture, and buffets. Thus far the response has been great and we are now ready to order additional items for the showroom such as their extensive collection of wardrobes and sofas. Unlike some of our other collections, Jesse doesn’t offer the very extravagant or attention grabbing designs; instead their collection consists...

Timeless Design + Divine Comfort = Arketipo
Florence, a beautiful land located in the Italian region of Tuscany most people only dream of experiencing is home to Suite 22′s newest line of sofas, lounge seating, and accessories; Arketipo. Florence, well known for their haut-couture fashion, spectacular architecture, and a legendary artistic heritage (and of course incredible vineyards), has played a large part in the history of Italy. Originating as a Roman city and soon becoming the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence was politically, economically, and culturally one of the most important cities in Europe and the world from the 14th century to the 16th century which...
Designer Spotlight: Alain Gilles
Recently awarded the prestigious ‘Designer of the Year’ for 2012, Alain Gilles has accomplished what most people would perceive impossible. One would think that in order to become a world renowned designer, you would live a life of design but this was not the case. Alain studied Political Sciences and Marketing Management which landed him a career in the financial world where design is somewhat inexistent. Where most would suck it up and live the life you were dealt, Alain, instead, decided to leave everything behind and begin a new life and career in design. With the support of...
Get Prepared for Winter with Bio Fireplace
As fall rolls in, and winter right around the corner, we can’t help but think that Old Man Winter is soon to be declaring war on shorts and flip flops. Although we call ourselves Canadian, it’s near impossible to defeat the ever so sneaky ‘wind chill factor’ so instead most of us decide to stay home and enjoy time alone or with a significant other over some hot cocoa, a warm blanket, and needless to say a great romantic comedy, but what’s missing? Well, good thing you asked, because nothing says “F&*$ winter” like your own fireplace. Unfortunately, in...

Product Showcase: Cattelan Italia Spyder Table
The Spyder table by Cattelan Italia was the highlight of their new collection in 2011 and again in 2012 when they introduced the Spyder Wood which we very proudly display on our showroom floor. It was first introduced in Milano last year displayed in a polished stainless base with a transparent glass top which definitely demanded some attention but the new version shown at this years iSaloni in Milano with the walnut wood top takes the cake. The base of the table is available in polished stainless steel, walnut wood or lacquered metal in either white or anthracite while...
Designer Spotlight: Fabio Novembre
Fabio Novembre, unlike many designers, expresses his appreciation for life, love, and sexuality through design. Rather than creating for the purpose of sales or popularity, he believes strongly in creating out of passion, for the reason of being. His designs are much more than just a product; instead they represent a meaning, a story that Fabio has uniquely created which makes him a truly one of a kind designer and individual. Born in 1966, Fabio has become somewhat a household name without being in the game for all that long. He has gained much respect throughout the industry working...
‘Made in Italy.’ What Does it Really Mean?
It’s amazing how these three short words ‘Made in Italy’ has been branded throughout the world as a symbol of quality, craftsmanship, and of course high prices. The question is, what does ‘Made in Italy’ really mean? What does it represent? Why is it so important? Well in the world of design, it’s really quite simple… Design has been a part of Italian culture for hundreds of years and has developed into a lifestyle choice. Well known for fine foods, luxurious sports cars, haut couture, timeless art, and of course fabulous furniture, Italy has set the bar for excellence...

Using the ceramic tradition created in Florence in the 1500′s, Bitossi has grown into one of the largest ceramic manufacturing companies in the world working along side iconic designers such as Ettore Sottsass and Piero Fornasetti in the earlier days and more recently with...
Bringing the Inside….Out
After months of slushy streets, shoveling snow and thick socks, summer has finally arrived where we all frolic through fields of flowers in slow motion. Really though, its time to take the covers off your BBQ’s, fill the propane tanks, and set up the patio furniture, if you have it. It almost seems silly to spend so much money on patio furniture when we only have 3 quality months to enjoy the sunshine which is why many go the ‘less expensive’ route and lean towards furniture from their local hardware store but there is an alternative solution. We are...

The Price of Knock-Offs
Design is all around us, whether it be your kitchen fridge or the chair in your office, everywhere we look we experience the beauty of design. What we don’t realize is what it took to get that product from the designers sketchpad to the assembly line and into the marketplace. There is a long and expensive road to get from point A to point B and its unfortunate that many times this product gets knocked off as soon as it gets its first taste of success. Clearly, items that are not a big seller right off the bat are...
Arrivederci Milano!
Another trip to iSaloni has come and gone; a week of nonstop walking, talking, schmoozing, and drooling. Consistent every year, each booth was built to impress filled with brand new products displayed for the very first time; some yet to see the light of day. Although the weather wasn’t very cooperative, the energy was high throughout. Hundreds of thousands of people made their way to Milan to be inspired and bring home some incredible new collections. We did exactly that… We are very proud to announce that we will be working with new lines such as Jesse, a complete...
The Worlds Best Furniture Fair
The day we have been looking forward to since last April is now just around the corner. The worlds biggest and best furniture fair, iSaloni has come again.

With over 2700 exhibitors and nearly 300,000 visitors from 150 different countries in 2011, you can only imagine the buzz that floods the show hallways and city streets. Outgrowing the original...
Doesn’t Diesel Design Clothing?
Well yes, but they have recently teamed up with Italian manufacturer, Foscarini, a powerhouse in the lighting industry. Diesel, a world-wide household name known for its edgy clothing designs has taken a step into the world of furniture and has made an incredible statement. A lighting line that very much resembles the character of their clothing, a very industrial, raw look which fits perfectly with the target market; young, successful, expressive.  From floor lamps to pendants, each demands attention it its own way using different materials and finishes complimenting each style. The Rock collection resembles a volcanic rock that when it...
Bonaldo Receives Good Design Award
The Good Design Award, the prize for design excellence in the showroom section, has been awarded to Bonaldo. The Golden Design award was established by the Chicago Athenaeum, a prestigious U.S. arts institution dedicated to design in all its forms and expressions: architecture, urban planning, industrial design and graphics. The jury met in November in Los Angeles to evaluate over 500 designs from 38 countries to make their decision. Designed by Mauro Lipparini, the 60,000 sq. ft. showroom is truly a gem found in Padova, Italy. After 26 months of gutting, refacing, and redesigning an already existing building, Bonaldo...

Using social media is a wonderful way for us to deal with our clients on a more personal level.
