IDC offers various Industry Partnership levels, each one designed to provide targeted access based on the partner’s market focus and growth objectives.
In 2025, Daltile rejoined IDC as a National Industry Partner. Over the past year, Daltile has engaged with IDC members through national exposure, online promotion, and event participation that supported direct interaction with designers.
“Joining Interior Designers of Canada in 2025 was a natural fit for us as a national manufacturer and distributor of tile, countertops, LVT, and other surface solutions that interior designers rely on every day. Our goal was to strengthen our connection with the design community across the country and better support their project needs.
Throughout the year, our team made it a priority to attend as many IDC events as possible nationwide. The experience exceeded our expectations—the connections were meaningful, the conversations were valuable, and the programming provided real insight into the evolving needs of the design profession in Canada.
As a National Industry Partner, we’ve also seen a measurable increase in brand awareness and a noticeable rise in inquiries compared to previous years. Based on the strong engagement we experienced and the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our team, renewing our partnership for 2026 was an easy decision.” Rick Dumont, Canadian Commercial Sales Manager, Daltile, Marazzi & American Olean
This year IDC welcomed Miele as a new National Industry Partner.
“Joining IDC this year reflects our commitment to strengthening Canada’s design community and supporting the professionals who shape thought provoking and inspiring spaces. We see IDC as a vital platform for collaboration, education, and advocacy- one that elevates design excellence across the country. Through this partnership, Miele A&D Connect looks forward to contributing to IDC’s mission, deepening our engagement with designers nationwide, and supporting the industry through our dedication to quality, longevity, and sustainable design.” D’Arcy Pretty, Head of A&D Development, Miele Canada.
At the regional level, IDC collaborated in 2025 with Alexandria Moulding, Centura, Nieman Outdoor Concepts, and Scavolini. These Regional Partners supported various events, engaged in regional outreach and made direct connections with designers in key markets.
“Joining the Interior Designers of Canada marks an exciting step for Alexandria Moulding as we continue to support residential interior designers. Designers play a vital role in shaping how people experience their homes, and we’re committed to providing the products, inspiration, and service they need to bring their vision to life.” Debora Juliao, Marketing Manager, Alexandria Moulding.
“At Centura, our regional partnership with IDC has had an incredibly positive impact not just in terms of engagement, but in the personal relationships we’ve built with designers across the country. As a new leader, I have found it invaluable to hear direct feedback, learn from the design community, and make meaningful connections with some truly inspiring people in this industry. IDC creates opportunities for collaboration that strengthen all of us.” Mathew Hider, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Centura.
“Nieman Outdoor Concepts joined IDC in 2026 to strengthen our connection with Canada’s design community. We work closely with designers, architects, and hospitality specifiers to provide access to premium outdoor furniture and shade brands like Shademaker and Kingsley Bate, supporting projects from early specification right through to completion.” Jonah Nieman, Sales Representative, Nieman Outdoor Concepts.
Additionally, IDC recognizes its newly joined Local Industry Partners, whose participation with IDC seeks to engage designers in specific communities across Canada. These Local Partners include: Besmeh Rug Company, Candace & Basil, Cloth Hall, Cloverdale Paint, Maars US Inc., Marcantonio Designs, Momentum Group, Montel Inc., Sound Solutions, The View Window Fashions/Gifted Design Inc., and Toronto Window Treatments.
IDC Industry Partnership provides manufacturers and suppliers a number of integrated benefits including social media advertising, dedicated presence on IDC’s website, direct email communications to design members across the country, participation in exclusive events, and eligibility for the Innovation Award recognizing excellence in product and service development.

On February 4, 2026, Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) presented the Industry Sales Professionals Course (ISPC), sponsored and hosted by IDC National Partner, Lutron Electronics, at their Toronto showroom.
The event brought together designers, architects, sales professionals, and industry partners for a dynamic day of conversation focused on strengthening relationships within the A&D community. Through candid discussion and real-world perspectives, the panels explored how trust, credibility, and long-term collaboration are built beyond products and specifications.
The day’s discussions were guided by IDC CEO Trevor Kruse, who served as moderator and facilitated thoughtful dialogue across three panels.
Speakers represented prominent firms across the design industry, offering perspectives shaped by experience in commercial, corporate, and institutional environments. Panelists included:
- Donna Wood [President, Bullock + Wood Design]
- Marianna Ng [Senior Interior Designer, Associate, B+H Architects]
- Genevieve Lavoie [Senior Project Interior Designer, HOK]
- Emily Manasc [Interior Designer, Diamond Schmitt Architects]
- Mahsa Saeedi [Associate – Manager, Interior Design, Arcadis]
- Julia Vandergraaf [Business Development Lead & Senior Lighting Designer, ThinkL Studio]
- Paul Lee [Interior Designer, Mason Studio]
The panels addressed building authentic partnerships with corporate firms, supporting multi-sector collaboration, and delivering value through long-term professional relationships. Discussions reinforced a shared understanding that successful partnerships are grounded in transparency, consistency, and a strong understanding of client needs.
Attendees contributed thoughtful questions and participated in meaningful networking opportunities throughout the day.
“An account manager is not about selling product but understanding what the client needs and how they want to receive the information. The ISPC brought insight in best practices in order to truly be a solutions provider to the A&D market and be a partner with our client base. Thankful for the time from the A&D panelists and IDC for coordinating this event.”
Suzy Margorian
Account Manager, Metro Wallcoverings
“As a Centura Tile rep attending the event, I found it incredibly informative across many topics in the design industry. One of the biggest takeaways was gaining a deeper understanding of what designers truly need from an A&D rep. It reinforced that our role goes beyond product knowledge — it’s about building trust, being a reliable resource, and developing long-standing relationships with designers. Great insights and valuable conversations throughout the event.”
Anna Hodur
A&D Sales Representative, Centura Tile
“I had a wonderful time participating in the recent IDC-hosted panel discussion alongside our sales vendors and industry partners. As an interior designer, I’m often immersed in the creative process, so it was refreshing to step back and engage in an open, honest dialogue with the people who help bring our projects to life. The conversation was dynamic, insightful, and candid. We explored relationship-building, collaboration, shared challenges, and how our roles intersect in real time.
Events like this are a powerful reminder of why I value being part of this design community. When designers and vendors come together not only to conduct business but to exchange experiences and learn from one another, it elevates both the process and the spaces we create.”
Marianna Ng
Senior Interior Designer, B+H International Corp.
“Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate as a panelist, it was a great event! This was a much-needed conversation, primarily to answer questions from reps we do not always have the capacity to respond to.”
Emily Manasc
Interior Designer, Diamond Schmitt Architects
“The IDC event was an incredible kickoff to both our 2026 season and our involvement with the community. The panels offered real conversations and actionable insight into how designers want to be supported. We made great connections and walked away energized and ready to implement what we learned. We are excited to build stronger partnerships this year.”
Jonah Nieman
JEN Sales Inc.
IDC thanks Lutron Electronics for sponsoring and hosting the Toronto ISPC. As a valued National Partner, Lutron’s continued support reflects a shared commitment to advancing professional development within Canada’s design community.
“It was a privilege to host the IDC ISPC panel and bring together such thoughtful leaders from the design community. The discussion offered meaningful insight into the future of our industry, and we’re proud to support conversations that inspire innovation and collaboration. We look forward to continuing to engage with and contribute to this vibrant community.”
Mindy Wong
Design Studio Manager, Lutron Electronics Canada
Building on the momentum of Toronto’s event, the Industry Sales Professionals Course will return on April 29 and will be hosted by Euro Tile & Stone. Learn more about this event.

For those new to the brand, how would you define the LAZZONI ethos and its heritage in the global design landscape?
LAZZONI is a century-old legacy reimagined for the modern era. Originating from a lineage of master woodworkers in Turkey, we have evolved into a global design house that balances industrial precision with artisanal soul. Our ethos is rooted in “functional elegance”—creating pieces that don’t just fill a room but optimize it. Because we own our entire supply chain and manufacturing facilities, we offer a level of quality control and design continuity that is rare in today’s market. We aren’t just selling furniture; we are providing the building blocks for a refined lifestyle.
LAZZONI is frequently praised for its “Customizable & Modular” approach. How does this benefit a designer’s creative process?
In most cases, designers are forced to choose between “off-the-shelf” or “fully custom,” which often leads to budget or lead-time issues. LAZZONI occupies the perfect middle ground. Our modular systems allow designers to tailor dimensions, finishes, and configurations to the inch. Whether it’s a wardrobe system that needs to fit a specific nook or a sectional sofa designed for a non-traditional floor plan, our products act as a canvas. This flexibility ensures that the designer stays in control of the vision without the astronomical costs typically associated with bespoke millwork.
Beyond the product, what specific value does LAZZONI offer to the professional design community in terms of support and margins?
We view the designer-client relationship as a partnership. To support this, we provide a robust Trade Program that offers competitive margins, ensuring that working with LAZZONI is as profitable as it is aesthetic. Furthermore, we provide dedicated Design Support teams. Designers can send us their floor plans, and our in-house experts—often interior architects themselves—will assist with 3D renderings and technical drawings. We essentially act as an extension of the designer’s own studio, handling the granular technical details so they can focus on the “big picture” creative direction. We manage everything: from the initial design consultation and manufacturing to international logistics and white-glove installation. When a designer chooses LAZZONI, they are choosing a single point of accountability.
How can the design community begin engaging with LAZZONI, and what does the onboarding process look like for your B2B program?
Engagement starts with an invitation to our global showrooms—from New York and Miami to London and Istanbul—where designers can experience our texture libraries and finish options firsthand. For those ready to formalize the partnership, our B2B Program is designed for easy entry. Professionals simply submit their credentials (such as a business license or trade organization membership) through our portal. Once approved, they gain instant access to our exclusive swatch kits, technical 2D/3D CAD libraries, and a dedicated concierge who serves as their primary point of contact for all future projects.
How can IDC members engage or communicate with you?
IDC members can connect with LAZZONI through our design and sales teams for project inquiries, product information, or showroom appointments.

Christine Weber, IDC President
Thank you to everyone who joined us at IDC’s 53rd Annual General Meeting on Dec. 9, 2025, which was held virtually this year. We appreciate your continued support of IDC and our interior design profession.
It is an enormous privilege to be elected as your President for the 2025/2026 term. I take this role on with great enthusiasm and gratitude to our community.
One of my goals as IDC President is to broaden access to and increase awareness of interior design research. This is an area within our profession that is underutilized and much needed. IDC members and industry partners should have access to state-of-the-art research to inform their practice and expand the knowledge base within their firms.
Technological advances are ushering in big changes in our field, and we, the industry experts, should be at the forefront of this transformation.
IDC is committed to celebrating members’ work and showcasing compelling interior design stories across the country. We want to highlight specific design practitioners and disciplines that are behind projects that are changing the landscape of interior design.
Our aim is to dive deeper into topics such as design for neurodivergence and cultural inclusivity, or multigenerational design and environmental gerontology, and showcase how the research, ideas, and practices can be incorporated into interiors in all sectors for spaces that are accessed by the public.
My goal is to foster an open dialogue, to engage with members on some of these timely and significant topics, and to be able to respond in a meaningful way.
I look forward to connecting with many of you over the next year and hearing your feedback and ideas for our collective growth and possibilities within our industry.
Sincerely,
Christine Weber
IDC President
