WOVEN ‘66
DesignTO 2024
Join Stoneface Co., a Canadian furniture and objects atelier, in the release of their latest work, Woven ‘66. The accent table features the leather weaving technique Intrecciato. When translated to English, Intrecciato means braided; strips of leather are intertwined to create a woven pattern. This technique was made famous by the luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta, founded in 1966; they are renowned for their signature leather weaving technique known as Intrecciato.
In addition Stoneface Co. continues its production of mirrored wall hangings. The Mirage series explores layered realities through collaged photography, texture, and plays on opacity. Patterns derived from the glassy facade of skyscrapers veil natural scenes.
Furniture from the Stoneface Co. permanent collection will accompany these new works.

DESIGNTO FESTIVAL 2022
FLOW STATE / OYSTER TABLE JANUARY 21 - 30
Window Installation In-Person 1097 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4M 1K7
This furniture project explores themes of mindfulness, meditation, and flow in relationship with the designer’s process and the end user’s experience of an object. The exhibition features a large mahogany dining table with abstract repeating shapes and organic lines.
Repetition gives the mind something to focus on, somewhere to pause. Think of a mantra or the rhythm of your breath; the repetition begins to quiet a busy mind. Through the ‘Flow State’ series of furniture, designer Jade McDonell of Stoneface Co. explores what physical characteristics evoke a meditative response. The ‘Oyster’ dining table takes its shape from an oyster’s shell whose ridges radiate outward in a repeating pattern. When sketching designs McDonell uses her pencil, drawing “searching” lines, trying to narrow in on the perfect shape. In this series, McDonell preserved some of those searching or gesturing lines as the final contours of the pieces. Borrowing principles from meditation, mindfulness and flow, she attempts to convey wellness through form.
