We were thrilled to see some items that did not come from Toronto, New York or Italy—especially these fabulous chairs. The set was part of the New Caribbean Design display and is made from renewable kufa vine, an alternative to materials harvested from the Amazon rainforest. Liana Cane is an environmental design group in Guyana whose mandate includes community development, social responsibility and ethical production.

As any good designophile knows, Toronto was host to the annual Interior Design Show this past weekend.  The show’s offerings ranged from humdrum soaker tubs to avant-garde lighting installations. No easily discernable trends overwhelmed the experience this year, but there were certainly some bright lights that stood out from the rest. Below, our eleven picks for the best of IDS 2011.
