Alternative Design event in Toronto : Come up to my Room...


COME UP TO MY ROOM is the Gladstone Hotel’s annual alternative design event.

CUTMR invites artists and designers to show us what goes on inside their heads. Coming together in dialogue and collaboration, participants are limited only by their imaginations, making CUTMR one of the most exciting design shows in Toronto. The four-day curated event is in its seventh year at the Gladstone Hotel, featuring 11 room and 14 public space installations. CUTMR is a part of the inaugural 2010 Toronto International Design Festival.

Be a part of the dialogue of design and art and engage with immersive and thought provoking spaces.

The organizers are offering great design prizes through their twitter feed:

TIDF: Toronto International Design Festival


TIDF is a new festival sponsored by Audi, one of our personal favourite design companies and makers of some very fine German automobiles: and another icon of modern design, Rado Switzerland, who is famous for making some of the world's most beautiful designer watches.

Celebrating local and international design, TIDF is launching this year in the design capital of Canada. Between January 20 – 24, a variety of venues around the city will host contemporary design events, including exhibits, symposiums, lectures, and fairs. Be sure to get out there and experience some of the events.

Help make this a success story so it will build upon what is presented in 2010 and come back year after year. Tell your friends, follow the excitement and generate some TIDF buzz on Twitter.

Take a few minutes to think about how you can get involved next year.
