WL Architects of the Year 2022: Measured Architecture
Sleek sofas, sculptural light fixtures and more hot buys from across the West.
Marimekko’s Kumiseva print ($129) was created by artist Katsuji Wakisaka in the 1970s, depicting an abstract interplay of city blocks and farmers’ fields. Now reissued in an updated palette of fresh greens and pinks and sized as a floor cushion, it moves into the present. Kit, Calgary, kitinteriorobjects.com
The striking Black Stripe tall thrown bell ($405) by Brooklyn-based artist Michele Quan features graphic hand-painted ebony stripes on a hemp cord. Nineteen TenBoutique, Vancouver, nineteenten.ca
For their latest collection, Cole and Son collaborated with Ardmore Ceramics to produce wallpapers inspired by Africa’s exotic wildlife and lush motifs. The Narina pattern ($190.40 for an 11-yard roll) comes in six colourways, from graphic neutrals (shown) to fearless burnt orange. Through Lee Jofa, across the West, leejofa.com
The delicately rounded Bower pendant ($329) in Gatsby-style brass is proof that domed and streamlined art deco shapes are here to stay. West Elm, Calgary, westelm.ca
The Menu Tailor sofa (pricing on request) by designer Rui Alves was made to be viewed from all angles—all the better to see its sartorially inspired, gravity-defying construction. Gabriel Ross, Victoria, grshop.com
The long comeback of mid-century modern has morphed into a love of Nordic design, with its spare, mindful sensibility. The Red Thread: Nordic Design (Phaidon, $95) offers a beautifully rendered reference book, focusing on 200 emblematic objects. Indigo, across the West, chapters.indigo.ca
With a burning time of up to eight hours, CB2’s Polyterrazzo oil lamps ($30 each) will keep your patio table aglow well past dessert. CB2, Vancouver, cb2.com
The new Tibbo collection from Dedon (pricing on request) is the Danish outdoor furniture company’s first teak collection and features their trademark woven fibre on the seat. Dwell Modern, Edmonton, dwellmodern.ca
