Cool and collected

The Design Exchange (234 Bay, 416-363-6121, dx.org) hosts 10 panelists, including gallerist Daniel Faria, designer Joyce Lo and artist Micah Lexier, who deliver “rapid-fire” presentations on the art of collecting everything from oddball furnishings to tiny curiosities and contemporary art.
