We just wrapped up coverage of our favorites at IDS Toronto but don’t think that we forgot about our very own Milk Stand pop-up shop! Situated amongst the booths on the showroom floor was our Milk Stand featuring the work of 14 independent designers and makers who were selling their modern goods, from jewelry to functional objects to stationery to bags. The stand itself was designed by Rollout in collaboration with FormNation, who turned 1000 cardboard boxes into a customizable display system to help highlight the wares of our curated group of designers.
Remember this image that made up some of our promotional collateral? The block design and cartoon-like graphics inspired Rollout’s design, which became a massive, real-life version of the postcard. They pushed the idea even further to give it a neighborhood market or discount department store kind of feel with a neutral color palette that became the backdrop to the products being sold.
