It might be hard to see it at first, but The North Collection is inspired by the Canadian wilderness. The reason why this might not be immediately perceivable is because it incorporates the clean lines of the Danish Modern furniture tradition. Nevertheless, the construction and overall design of each piece is influenced after such things as the silhouette of mountains, the memories of snowshoeing and canoeing as well as other aspects of Canadian culture.
Designed by Jess Tasker of Trunk Studio, The North Collection is built by Nova Scotia woodworkers. Comprised of four pieces (Scout Side Table, Station Chair, Toque Wall Rack and Approach Coffee Table), The North Collection recently debuted at the Interior Design Show.
