Thout (provoking) design
Sun, 29 Jul 2007Thout has been featured on a few blogs but I seem to have missed them until I started reading my new copy of Canadian House and Home where they are featured. Being a Canadian firm, I had to give them a shout out, because of that fact and after checking out their website, I was so impressed at the creativity of this group.
"Based in Toronto, Upper Canada, Thout is a loose group of designers formed by Patrick Turner. Thout is named after the Turner family cabin, built in the 1900’s without running water or electricity. Thout is a place where needs are met with simplicity, clarity and honesty. Our products are created in the same way."

| One of the coolest tables I've ever seen. | "Cedar stumps are made lighter when pierced with holes that look as though they could have been made by a giant worm. Holes can store beer, if required." This is quoted from the site, making it my favourite item here. |

Love the blue beer storage stumps. My husband wants one of those. That red table has a place in my home any day!
The stumps and table get an A+! Love 'em. Also like the pendant lights! :)
Thanks for the info!
This was one of my favorite booths at ICFF. While there were a lot of booths full of natural materials in neutral colors, and then a lot of man-made materials in bold colors, this was one that combined the two styles cleverly, beautifully, and with wit. YUM!
