Ones to watch

Thom Fougere (thomfougere.com)

“Last year. Thom Fougere and Nils Vik won the IDS RADO award for best new prototype for their ingenious bench and coat rack combination. This year. Thom is going it alone with a new coffee table made of beautiful Manitoba Tyndall stone. The top is left unfinished so it will wear down, exposing fossil fragments embedded in the material.”

John Baker, co-owner of Mjölk (mjolk.ca)

Bettie Cott and Lauren Reed

“I met Bettie and Lauren in September at the first meeting for the participants of this year’s Capacity show (see Take 5, page 30). They stood out because they are still students at Sheridan College, and I was intrigued by their project, which they described as a ‘personal management system’. It’s essentially a clothes rack made of wood for people with tiny apartments and too much clothing.”

Bev Hisey, textile designer (bevhisey.com)

RAW (rawdesign.ca)

“When it came time to select an emerging architecture firm to create the installation for the IDS 12 entrance (see show preview, page 28), it wasn’t a difficult choice. I went with RAW. The firm, led by Roland Rom Colthoff, truly pushes the envelope on how we live, producing mixed-use dwellings as well as successful laneway and infill projects.”

Shauna Levy, Interior Design Show director (interiordesignshow.com)
