Vancouver Notables: Matt Muldoon of Knuckles Industries

October 29, 2015/ Paula Duhatschek

Matt Muldoon is the owner of Knuckles Industries: a rapidly ascending design company that just released (to much publicity) their new 60/61 furniture series.

Based on vintage Americana and old-school airplanes – the pieces were built with 6061 aircraft grade aluminum – the collection marries craftsmanship and not-quite-functionalism. Does a shoe rack really require speed holes? Of course not, but then, it doesn’t not need them.

Review: In Transit

October 18, 2015/ Sarah Bakke

A Simple Space Delivers Balance and Braun

October 17, 2015/ Monika Malczynski

Gravity and Other Myths just brought their ‘A (Eh?) game’… and you’re going to want to see them do it again. Remarkably skillful, hardworking, risk-taking acrobats, this Australia-based team of performers is pushing physical limits and personal boundaries. Their featured tour, A Simple Space, is honest, genuine and viscerally infectious.
