I love the versatility of these tiny stools / stacked storage units by Dutch designer Rianne Koens.  The round corners and soft pastel colours make them great for so many applications and when they are stacked they look just like a large luggage tower!

Custom Banquette Installation

No Comments »

Here’s a little project we were working on before the holidays. A client of ours wanted a banquette to be custom made to fit in an awkward corner. In addition to making good use of the space we wanted to make it more of a sofa then a traditional banquette with a slanted back and down filled cushions. Below are a few snap shots of an AMD installation with the help of our awesome millworkers!

Wishful Thinking

Yesterday was a little bit of a shock with its -16 c weather. We’ve got the colder temperatures but where is the snow? As we wait for our snowscape to appear here’s an installation created by Tokujin Yoshioka which captures the essences of nature through the artificial simulation of snow. You can also check a video here, posted by Dezeen to feel the full impact of Yoshioka’s installation.

Pilo

Pilo gifts were amongst my most favourite things to give this year!  Not only are they adorable Canadian products but each one is handmade with love for generations to appreciate.

It’s almost time to head off for the holidays and this Finnish villa designed by Avanto Architects is exactly where I’d love to go!

 

Fashion Photography + Illustrations

1 Comment »

The beautiful illustrations from Berlin artist Tina Berning have always been a favourite here at the studio. Just this past summer Berning and fashion photographer Michelangelo di Battista combined their different talents and mediums to create an amazing exhibition Face/Project  which showed at the Camera Work Gallery in Berlin. Here are some photographs of their unique work as well as some of Bernings past work from the collection The Passemgers.

If you’re interested in viewing an original Berning illustration in person we have a few on our walls at the studio/gallery which is open to the public Friday – Sunday from noon till 6pm. This weekends your last chance to come see the current show!

High Park Reno

Hello! I have to apologise as we have been a wee bit absent over the past few months!  Our studio / gallery has moved, we have a few new team members and we have been extremely busy with some great interior design projects.  A little sneak peak below of a house that we are working on in High Park.  The home is still in the drywall phase, but our designs are starting to come to life.  Be sure to check back to see the finished product.

Graff Estate

A friend sent me this link this afternoon and I have been dreaming of the lodge ever since.  A perfect combination of stunning landscapes, fantastic art and comforting interiors.  My next vacation spot is the Graff Estate.
