King East Design District Party presented by DesignTO

Join DesignTO for a celebration of design and community across Toronto’s King East Design District! Structured as a roaming neighbourhood party anchored by five Party Hubs, the King East Design District Party is a must-attend bash, bringing together hundreds of designers and design-lovers.

With featured designers, installations, food, drink and entertainment at each Party Hub, partygoers can explore them all or pick their favourite and stay put.

Installations: 

At ergoCentric, see designer Christine Tatilon’s window installation ‘¡( What About the Kids | Et les enfants, alors !)’. Dedicated to all the children, this project is a physical and virtual escapade combining illustrations and design. Three fun, whimsical chaise sculptures aim to raise awareness about the importance of the “3Rs” and reflect on the future we are offering the young generations.

At Daltile | Mohawk Group, see artist Gwenyth Chao’s ‘On Moss & Bottles’, an exhibition showing a selection of biodegradable sculptures from Chao’s ‘Plasticity’ series. Chao’s semi-transparent, ghostly casts of everyday plastic containers are installed on sustainably sourced moss and recycled plastic bottle carpet backing.’
