IIDEX

The iconic Moleskine sketchbook gets the Canadian treatment from eleven creative studios – including Bruce Mau, Yabu Pushelberg and Claude Cormier – whose doodles and intricate diagrams provide a glimpse into their creative processes.

The two-day design and architecture expo in Toronto kicks off today and presents the latest work systems, task chairs, fabrics and more for contract spaces. Here are a few show highlights, from such brands as Keilhauer, Humanscale and Teknion, that might just change the look of the office.

Next week at IIDEX Canada, be sure to take in the two Azure-sponsored keynote presentations by New York industrial designer Todd Bracher, on Thursday; and Paris furniture and interior designer Patrick Norguet, on Friday.

On Thursday and Friday of this week, IIDEX/NeoCon hosts keynotes by architects Brendan MacFarlane and Matthias Sauerbruch as well as a panel including interior designer Howard Pharr and hotelier Isadore Sharp.
