We are very proud to have won Best Collection of Studio North Limited Edition at this year’s Interior Design Show for our School Chair. See the Globe + Mail’s list of highlights here.

Andrew Sardone talks with local designers at the Radiant Dark opening.

“Toronto has a set of reluctant poster boys for the sustainable design movement in the Brothers Dressler.” Read Andrew Sardone’s article about “sustainability stealing the spotlight at the first Toronto International Design Festival”.

We will be introducing our School Chair at IDS10 as part of the Studio North exhibit and the Bottle Lamps at MADE’s evolution of Radiant Dark “Assets & Values”

We will also be opening our studio to visitors January 20-24, from noon to five daily. You’ll find us at 225 Sterling Road, Unit 16 (one block west of Lansdowne, south of Bloor).

2009 was a good year for tables, have a look at the five we’ve added to our catalogue: Stitch, Walking, Basic Parsons, Slab Coffee and Cross.

More surfaces for dining upon and socializing around will be coming soon as we work toward the opening of Boehmer.

The Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Azure magazine contains a review of IIDEX/NeoCon featuring the Bottle Farm we introduced at the show.

“Eco-savvy local designers Brothers Dressler introduced Bottle Farm. The vertical planter consists of four upcycled plastic bottles anchored to a solid piece of discarded walnut by their threaded ends. The planter is wall mounted using reclaimed hardware and can be custom ordered.”

See more info on the Bottle Farm in the curiosities section.

Brothers Dressler included as one of “forty fabulous reasons to be in Canada” in the November 2009 issue of Wallpaper.

Also included is good friend Jonathan Sabine of studio Mat Cult.
