Itérations art mixer at future simple studio

'Itérations' is a series of gatherings, an ongoing conversation about what art and architecture can hold when they are allowed to change. Our first event in June showcased pieces about the representation of bodies in space. Through the work of Nadège Roscoe-RumjahnMaude ArsenaultWynn Holmes and The Atelier, bodies emerge, dissolve and return in new configurations. Each iteration, a refinement. Each revision, an act of survival.

The story behind our beloved panino linear light

"One of my favourite places to go is the hardware store. I just love going through the aisles, sourcing items that are accessible and available to everyone, and seeing how to make them beautiful—and functional too.”
Enter Panino light, whose name is inspired by the signature pressed sandwiches we make during our family-style lunches in studio. Made entirely of pieces purchased at our local quincaillerie, Panino gives light a three-dimensional quality.

—John Cage

Words of Wisdom
Live a creative life

“It's important to learn how to use your small bits of time. All those begin to count up. It's not the long amounts of time you have that are important. you should learn how to use your snatches of time when they are given to you.”
