Toronto is set once again to become the epicentre of Canadian luxury and style. From April 16 to 19, 2026, the highly anticipated Living Luxe Design Show (LLDS) returns to the Toronto Congress Centre, promising an experience that goes far beyond the traditional trade show format.
Presented by JennAir and founded by Living Luxe Magazine visionaries Jennifer Lipkowitz and Anthony Sirianni, this year’s four-day event is poised to be an immersive celebration of interior design, fashion, art, and real estate.
“The Living Luxe Design Show was created to be more than a design show. In 2026, we’re proud to expand the experience even further, spotlighting emerging talent alongside global design icons and offering a truly immersive look at the future of luxury living in Canada.” Jennifer Lipkowitz, Co-Founder Living Luxe Media Group
Here is a look at what attendees can expect at this year's premier design destination.
Global Design Icons Take the Stage
A major draw for the 2026 show is its powerhouse lineup of keynote speakers, offering industry professionals and design enthusiasts a rare chance to hear from shaping forces in global design.
The stage will feature:
Karim Rashid: The world-renowned designer known for his "sensual minimalism" brings his vast expertise to Toronto. With over 4,000 designs in production and pieces in the permanent collections of MoMA and the Centre Pompidou, Rashid’s insights are highly anticipated.
Ali Budd: President and Principal Designer of Ali Budd Interiors, host of Hulu’s House of Ali, and House & Home's 2024 Designer of the Year, Budd will share her perspective on creating refined, highly personalized luxury spaces.
Lori Morris: The visionary founder of Lori Morris Design will discuss her distinctive, "no-rules" philosophy that results in art-driven, bespoke interiors. Attendees can also explore her custom booth design, created in collaboration with Lancaster Custom Cabinetry.
Spotlighting the Future: The Emerging Designers Area
New for 2026 is the Emerging Designers Area, a dedicated platform showcasing Canada's next generation of creative talent. Sponsored by Lawrence Park Development in collaboration with Amanda Aerin, this space will feature six selected up-and-coming designers.
Tasked with conceptualizing and constructing Rome-inspired booths, these participants will compete for the Best Emerging Designer Award. The winner will receive a complimentary full-scale booth at the 2027 show, alongside a generous $10,000 grant sponsored by Martha Franco Architecture & Design.
Signature Programming & Immersive Experiences
Beyond the booths and the keynotes, the 2026 LLDS is designed to be an interactive, multi-sensory experience. Art installations by Max Jamali and Amer SM, alongside a daily fashion runway presented in collaboration with the Toronto Fashion Academy, will keep the creative energy flowing.
