The descent into the hottest design weekend in the country started at the annual Radiant Dark party, thrown by partners Julie Nickelson and Shaun Moore of retailer Made Design. Thought of as the unofficial launch of Toronto design week to some, this year’s party was RSVP only, with the guest list cut off at the beginning of the week.
“We try to close the guest list at a reasonable number,” said Made owner Julie Nickelson. “The number of people who RSVP is always a surprise though. We want to be fair to the work and what’s here but not be exclusive.”
