CUSTOM WORK

We love a good design challenge and the chance to explore new territory conceptually. Some of our most interesting work has been inspired by unique commissions, design competitions, and custom projects. If you have a design problem that needs solved, need a uniquely-designed centrepiece installation, or simply wonder if one of our pieces can come in black, we're here to answer your questions. We even do restaurant and bar interiors!

The droplet-shaped glass vessels are designed both for projecting a clearly defined circle of colour, and for a perfect pouring experience.

Exploring the concepts of rituals, human human-computer interaction, and our responses to disaster, we collected fallen branches from ice-storm-damaged Toronto trees, and one-by-one, twig-by-twig re-assembled them with coloured thread following a algorithm of defined rules interpreted separately by each 'rebuilder'.

Shipwreck Chandelier
Shipwreck Chandelier

When glass ends up in the ocean it is transformed. Wave action tumbles and polishes it smooth against the sand. Just as the sunken and cracked dead hull of a ship becomes the base for reefs and beautiful new life, smashed bottles and other glasswares become precious treasure.

Shipwreck is an upside down and abstracted view of its namesake. Suspended by fishing line from bent ash stringers, the sea glass undulates in the form of waves photographed while whale watching off the northern tip of Cape Breton.

Shipwreck is a sculptural lighting piece, inspired by the natural processes and the pressure of time evident in the materials used. It is another exploration - an illumination - of the real histories behind everyday materials.
