Contexture Design is a Vancouver-based firm recognized for making products from other people's waste. It sources materials from nearby industries, manufactures locally and uses reclaimed and recycled materials whenever possible.
Owned by industrial designers Trevor Coghill and Nathan Lee, Contexture Design always tries to tell a story with its work.
A product may reflect the family life of different species and their connection to the land, or it can be about how the canoe came to become a symbol of Canada.
There is always a narrative told through materials. And the materials that have the most to say are the ones that have history.
Contexture Design's projects range from production pieces to one-of-a-kind installations.
It strives to make a connection between the final product and its source material.
