As we get ready for the store launch here in Toronto, I thought it would be a good idea to showcase some of the designs I did while working at Cutler and Gross in London.

Layered with flat pieces of Baltic-Birch plywood, woody-terrain employs standard manufacturing methods to capture a unique pattern that becomes it’s main characteristic feature.
In a very Miesian way the concept of this fashion accessory is to use the inherent qualities of the materials and fabrication methods as design elements.

This piece is the first of a evolving collection.
