Best of IDS, Day 2: A Mosaic, Pendulum & Polar Bear Table

Advertisement

We’re went in search of the best products, designs and booths at the Interior Design Show (IDS) 2018. Here are our second round of pics from the show

Our second day spent at IDS made us optimistic about this year’s pool of design talent. Established names like Ciot created magic underfoot with an elaborate mosaic, and EQ3 impressed us with the dimpled bowl lamp (the Canadian design company also received a tag on our first day at the show). Later that day, we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to give W Studio’s custom carpets a Loves tag. Their rendering of a subway tunnel in wool is stupendous. Lauren Reed‘s trio of pendulums – meant as meditative aides, not as time keepers – had our editors both fooled and mesmerized.

Once you’ve swiped through the ten designs we loved at IDS, find out which five rising designers made it onto our radar this year.

The heritage brand’s latest model reimagines the hearth for contemporary living

For many Canadian homeowners, the fireplace remains the symbolic heart of the home—a place to gather, unwind and anchor family rituals. But in 2025, that doesn’t mean settling for a drafty wood-burning unit or a showpiece that barely produces heat. The best fireplaces today need to combine efficiency with atmosphere, design flexibility with reliability. Few companies balance all of these demands as seamlessly as Valor Fireplaces, a Canadian heritage brand that has been setting the standard since 1977.
