Night & Day: The Evolution of Hotel Design 

In 2025 hospitality takes centre stage at IDS with its feature Night & Day: The Evolution of Hotel Design. Hotels have transformed from simple accommodations into multifunctional spaces for meeting dining working and socializing—balancing security hygiene comfort and style 24/7. With popular culture fixated on aspirational getaways hotels increasingly serve as backdrops for TV and film.  

Night & Day is set to showcase four spaces designed by top interior designers and architects highlighting the latest trends and innovations that will shape the future of hospitality design. This feature serves as the main conversation piece of the IDS show following the success of the Future Neighbourhood feature from IDS 2024. 

LIV Design Studio’s 2025 Student Design Challenge 

LIV Design Studio continues to support and celebrate the work of Canadian students with their 2025 Student Challenge ‘The Third Space: Designing a Lobby for Connection’ features an Augmented Reality (AR) immersive experience on the show floor. Students are tasked with creating a lobby design that functions as a vibrant third space—a social environment distinct from home and work—where residents can connect naturally. This space is envisioned to be welcoming inclusive and adaptable featuring elements like communal areas or coffee spots that encourage interaction. The goal is to create a dynamic accessible space that turns everyday encounters into meaningful connections. Submissions for the challenge are open until November 11.
