IDS 08 | Imprinting a new North American lifestyle

My husband saw a homemade flyer in front of the Royal York that was offering a $15,000 reward, no questions asked for returning a dog.

The super luxury housing market emerged over the last six months in Toronto with condo units now listed at 12 million dollars. With money comes experimentation and market differentiation.

An overview of a super luxury market in Toronto

The topic of one design talk at IDS 08 was Upsizing of the condo market: a lifestyle trend. What is happening right now is not just higher priced condominiums. The builders are offering more choices than ever to the consumers.

Some projects offer the freedom to design your unit with architects and designers before it is even built. Many builders hire a team of star architects and designers to make sure their design is well thought.

Entertaining illustrations by Paolo Mariotti

If you can read French, I suggest you take a peek at IDEAT, a magazine about design, architecture and trends made in France. It is one of my favorite magazines.

Paolo Mariotto has a column in IDEAT. Every month, he draws an illustration. He captures the spirit of a trend from somewhere around the globe. In fact, Paolo’s Touch is the first thing I explored when I grabbed my latest issue.

Paolo Mariotto is an illustrator and correspondent for the Brazilian Vogue in Paris, amongst other things.

I wish looking at his drawings will inspire you to host a cocktail or a dinner party this week-end. In the meantime, enjoy the views.
