A Note from Designlines

Advertisement

Things aren’t exactly normal, but at least we’re isolating together

Well, this is weird, am I right? Here we are, in a city full of design – available to touch, see, buy and learn about – and, since we’re isolating, it’s pretty much shut down. But luckily the world is still wide open, online.

At Designlines, we are working remotely on a number of projects to keep the information and inspiration flowing to our friends in the GTA. As we all continue to work from home, it’s an opportune time to consider our spaces, how to better them, and to learn where we can get a helping hand. And so, we continue to monitor which of our favourite retailers are still operating online and how they’re handling shipping. This is news we will pass on to you as shopping as local as possible is more important than ever.

On top of this, we will be producing more inspiring content daily, pulling from our archives as well as from this city’s talented pool of makers and design professionals. And as we work away on the next issue – the ever popular Renos Issue – we are also working on getting the digital edition of the most current issue – Small Spaces – up and available. So, please do watch this space (and our social media platforms) as we roll out more design content than ever. We’re in this together, design friends. Stay safe, be well.

Sincerely,
The Designlines team

P.S. To our friends in design and retail, please don’t hesitate to reach out via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or by email to let us know if and how you are operating. We’re here to support local businesses like yours!

Entrants have until February 13th to submit their best work

It’s that time of year again! The 2026 AZ Awards is officially open for submissions. Recognizing international design excellence from the world’s top architects and designers, the 11 main categories are: Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interiors, Urban Design, Experiential Graphic Design, Concepts, Emerging, A+ Award for Student Work, Social Good and Environmental Leadership. Last year, AZURE inaugurated the EMERGING Awards to celebrate up-and-coming firms established within the past 10 years in each of the four top categories: Design, Architecture, Landscape and Interiors. Plus, there are more Interiors categories than ever (including Retail & Hospitality, Healthcare, Workspace and Institutional) as well as one recently added in Design (Housewares and Tech Products) — and AZURE will publish its extensive longlist online ahead of the jury-selected shortlist, celebrating a greater spectrum of excellent projects.
