Buy Local: Fugitive Glue

Advertisement

The Bomba stool by Fugitive Glue is a solid example of the ever-evolving design collective’s upcycling mission. Imagined by creative director Jano Badovinac, the seats utilize salvaged, cut-up propane tanks and found birch laminate with the purpose of small-footprint manufacturing – think per order blowtorching, not assembly lines. It’s a bittersweet approach: when the material is gone, the product run is done. Fugitive Glue isn’t stuck on furniture; the collective’s portfolio also includes branding, interior design, window coverings and even shoes for full-circle service.

Former Designlines Editor-in-chief Catherine MacIntosh’s new book is an expert guide to the city’s top interiors

As a former editor-in-chief of Designlines (and an alum of both Azure and Canadian House and Home before that), design writer Catherine MacIntosh has probably toured more Toronto residences than some real estate agents. Her latest project, the new coffee table book Toronto Interiors (released via Figure 1 Publishing), invites readers to step inside 90 homes envisioned by 30 of the city’s most exciting design firms. Many of these practices — including Odami, Wanda Ely Architect and Batay-Csorba Architects, to name just a few — have been fixtures of Designlines over the years and here, MacIntosh has the chance to revisit a few of their greatest hits while also revealing some previously hidden gems. Along the way, she reflects on what sets each of these studios apart at this point in their — and Toronto’s — history.
