Evoke International Design

In honour of it being Canada Day I thought I'd feature Canadian talent in today's post. David Nicolay and Robert Edmonds are Vancouver's Evoke International Design who dabble in conceptual thinking, spacial and interior design and graphic design for restaurant, retail and entertainment design and branding; residential and corporate office design. They have a few residential projects under their belt that are modern and sleek, and gorgeous inside and out. I particularly love their creativity with staircases. HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!!!

Simple, restrained, delicate.

Bookcase ladder

Cool bookcase from Brooklyn based architects and designers Workstead. A ladder that reaches to an operable skylight forms part of the bookcase structure.
