ARIDO + IDC Stage

The ARIDO + IDC Stage design incorporates elements of various scales, designed to be appreciated both up close and from a distance.  

The roof, symbolizing home, serves as a representation of ARIDO, functioning as the home for Ontario design and a visual beacon within the convention centre, providing a unique and identifiable presence amidst the numerous booths on the showroom floor.

To enhance the stage, a versatile backdrop combining a balance of art, design, and architecture was adopted. This backdrop, crafted by Molo, a Canadian design company, features flexible partitions that not only contribute to a neutral and textural space but also offer improved acoustic properties. These unique materials prompt us to reconsider the adaptability and flexibility of space. They align with the commitment to sustainability by providing environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional building materials which can be used for a multitude of future events. 

Anchoring the slope of the roof and serving as the starting point for the flexible partitions, the angular black signage serves as the grounding element in the design. Contrasted with a light tone, the ARIDO and IDC logo emerge as the central focal point. The juxtaposition of the angular lines with the soft curved textile surrounding the stage, creates an all-encompassing design that captivates observers from any viewpoint.
