On November 16th,
hundreds of guests attended the Design Exchange’s annual fundraiser, DX Intersection. All three floors of the beautiful space were transformed into a night
of music, nosh and cocktails. DX Intersection was put on in support of the
design museum’s youth education program, which focuses on Canadian design preservation
initiatives.
With paloform fire
bowls lining the entrance, guests perused each floor of the design exchange featuring unique installations and culinary experiences.
The evening grew with
excitement as Shauna Levy, president of the Design Exchange announced
highlights for 2013. One of these projects include 'The Happy Show,' which will feature renowned
NYC-based graphic designer, Stefan Sagmeister and the legendary Christian Louboutin.
Other highlights of
the night included art and design installations by Matty Matheson of Parts
& Labour, Douglas Coupland and Daniel Faria Gallery, Niall McClelland and
Alex Durlak and much more. The evening also featured AUKTION presented by
IKEA, which featured 20 one-of-a-kind pieces created by a range of different
designers like The Design Agency, Suzanne Dimma, Philip Sparks and many more.
