Our conversation with the folks from Moco Loco has now been posted to their blog. Thanks for your interest and support Greg.

We’d like to thank Azure and DWR for putting on an excellent show and enjoyable evening of design, conversation and drinks in New York’s Meatpacking district. It was the perfect way to cap off the creatively packed design events surrounding this year’s ICFF. Our Last Waltz bench found itself in good company amongst other great designs from Canada and some of the most renowned international designs from the past century.

Based on our slab table design we’ve played with live-edge wood for this piece. The elements of the table are fastened together with butterfly joints and stainless steel hardware, an homage to George Nakashima. The example shown here is made with locally harvested osage orange wood and walnut joinery and intended for outdoor dining.

The uvula (morph series 1), a multi-functional chair/stool/side table, was used in a spread promoting eco-friendly breweries in a recent LCBO Enviro Chic publication. We’re always happy to be seen along side Steamwhistle, Brothers Dressler beer of choice.

Thanks to Lino DiNallo at GJP for making it happen.

Inspired by the classic chaise longue designed by Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, this is a machine designed for relaxation and comfort. The bent laminated curves provide structure, comfort and organic elegance. The rotating adjustment hardware was salvaged from an old drafting board and allows the chaise to pivot for a personalized position.

Design Within Reach is hosting “Wry + Ginger by Azure” in its New York City Meatpacking District Studio during the upcoming International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Billed as an exploration of Canadiana with a twist, Brothers Dressler are one of fifteen designers appearing in the exhibit curated by Azure magazine to celebrate Design Within Reach’s recent expansion into Canada.

We were proud to have a few of our benches present at our good friend Linda Martinello’s show at the Whippersnapper Gallery a few weeks ago. Linda possesses a staggering talent and we are so happy to hear the show was a great success for her.

Please visit www.lindamartinello.com to see more of Linda’s work.

We were pleased to have the opportunity to speak to students of the University of Toronto School of Architecture & Design on Friday, March 28. It was the opening reception for the Reused! Challenge exhibition, a competition looking at different ways to repurpose and reuse our trash into useful objects. The exhibition shows what can be done when extra thought is put toward the waste we produce. The work is on display at the UofT Architecture & Design Department (230 College St. W, Toronto).

Thank you Mahan for including us in your event.
