I have a closet full of vintage clothes and the “Made in Canada” labels on many of them speak to the country’s rich garment history. But I didn’t know much about Canada’s history of design design because we don’t celebrate it much (not very Canadian to do so, I suppose).
That changed when a friend loaned me his copy of Design in Canada, which is filled with iconic pieces (and the odd hilariously disco spread) from the north.
Many of them look timeless, some of them look so on-trend you’d expect to see them in modern decor stores, and none of them look anything like I expected vintage Canadian design would.
