Inside II BY IV DESIGN

COMMUNITY FOCUS

CULTURE, INTERIORS

II BY IV DESIGN is an international design studio with projects throughout the world and offices in both Toronto and New York. Wherever our projects are located, it is essential to understand the culture and communities we are working with and in; taking design outside of the studio and into the urban sphere.

This month’s newsletter focuses on some of the exciting growth and events happening in Toronto. From a new midtown location for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) with geo-targeted design and product selection; to a new retail promenade in St. James Town and the chic Via Bloor condominiums; to seeking out inspiring creative visionaries at the Interior Design Show and the active participation of our own designers in the TO Design Offsite festival.

Recognized as experts in interpreting consumer attitudes, behaviours and motivations, II BY IV DESIGN excels in creating dynamic residential, retail and hospitality environments; we are fortunate to collaborate with many industry leaders and lend our creative insight to several high-profile projects.

From iconic architecture and design to the proud recognition that is the result of engaging client collaborations, this month’s newsletter travels from the busy streets of Toronto’s urban centre to the rolling hills of San Francisco and culminates at a gala award ceremony in the United Kingdom.

II BY IV DESIGN is guided by a design philosophy that is client focused and we are known for creating interiors with longevity that surpass trend. Each project is unique, with its own distinctive story, there is no signature look to our work simply the “right” look which results in a portfolio that is quite diverse.

In this month’s newsletter we take a look at Aquabella Condominium whose innovative form influenced its interiors; Dan and Keith share pictures of iconic sights in Rome; and we reveal the results of the highly prestigious SBID International Design Awards ~ a UK based competition that elevates style with recognition for some of the world’s most exceptional projects.

There is something about the summer, especially in Toronto when the city comes alive. Longer days and warmer nights see people out and about, making the most of this fleeting season. Whether you are interested in festivals, food trucks or fireworks there seems to be something for everyone with an underlying theme of exploration. In this newsletter we explore the artistic energy of the Thompson Toronto’s Lobby Bar; the mesmerizing play of color and light in Dale Chihuly’s ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) exhibit; and live vicariously through Keith and a team of our designers as they travel to Europe to prepare for the inaugural voyage of the Crystal Mozart.

CULTURE

It has been said, without continual growth and progress such words as improvement, achievement and success have no meaning.

Last year II BY IV DESIGN celebrated its 25th anniversary and while this was a significant milestone for us we feel like it also marked the beginning of a vibrant, new chapter for the firm.

The upcoming year promises to be an exciting one with several high-profile projects (from master-planned communities, to cruise ships and luxury retail spaces), as well as, the official unveiling of our latest venture ~ product design.

When we first started II BY IV DESIGN we dreamed of a creative firm founded on constant innovation; today we are fortunate to have transformed this vision to reality and are grateful for your incredible support.

In the months ahead we look forward to sharing with you our continued evolution, starting with the redesign of our newsletter and giving you a better look at what goes on
