What's New | Design 2025
Discover what’s new, noteworthy and designed to elevate the way you live, work and play. Each season, we round up the latest in luxury living — from inspired design and travel destinations to must-have style and lifestyle finds.
where to shop
For the ultimate shopping destination this season, check out Holt Renfrew’s Bloor Street flagship location, where LOEWE Perfumes has unveiled an immersive experience for the senses. This monochromatic green wonderland invites shoppers to wander through the verdant curving pathways—created by Molo Design using recyclable cellular honeycomb structures—as they discover LOEWE Perfumes’ olfactory offerings. Stop in for a sweet-smelling escape from now until May 2026.
what to drink
Summer may be drawing to a close, but it doesn’t have to mean the end of summer flavours. DAME’s new Zero Tangerine Vanilla beverage captures the taste of sunshine in a can with this delightfully nostalgic creamsicle-inspired drink with no alcohol, sugar or calories. Founded by Melissa Pulvermacher, DAME prides itself on its Canadian, vegan and gluten-free beverages made with high-quality, local ingredients. Also new to its roster is the Donna Zero, a non-alcoholic version of the brand’s popular Italian Spritz Blood Orange.
What To Do
Toronto’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) will unveil influential Canadian photographer Jeff Wall’s first major Canadian exhibition in more than 25 years. The award-winning artist has shown work at some of the world’s most respected institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art to Tate, and now brings his photography closer to home. On view from October 19 through March 22, 2026, Jeff Wall Photographs 1984–2023 will span three floors and include light box transparencies, black and white photographs, and colour prints captured across four decades of artistic practice.
Where to dine
Convivium Dining Community brings modern European flavour to Yonge Street in the historic Tin & Copper Smith Building, built in the 1850s by acclaimed architect (and later mayor of Toronto) Joseph Sheard. Spanning three floors with spaces dedicated to the restaurant, private dining rooms and two grand event halls, this elegantly appointed address opened this summer to much excitement. Expect a vibrant and elevated menu, created by chef Oxana Glazkova, a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, and plenty of Old World charm.
where to stay
Across the world, the Nobu name has become synonymous with celebrity and the ultimate refinement. Now, that lavish level of luxury has made its way to Toronto, with the newly opened Nobu Hotel, following the restaurant’s launch last year. Above the historic Pilkington Glass Factory, the hotel’s 36 rooms are located in the west tower, spread across the 41st through 45th storeys. Each surpasses expectations with sweeping views of downtown and Lake Ontario—on full display through floor-to-ceiling windows—and opulent bathrooms that take their cues from Japanese spas. As a bonus, guests at the hotel get priority for the notoriously difficult-to-get reservations at the restaurant.
