In March 2023, we hosted a collaborative event with brand partner LA MANUFACTURE, our friends at Anony, and AZURE Magazine. The event was structured around LA MANUFACTURE’s traveling exhibition 871 Days, 50 Products, 17 Designers, and 1 single colour which first appeared at the 2022 edition of Salone del Mobile, and featured a panel discussion moderated by Eric Mutrie of AZURE Magazine. Anony displayed their Ohm Chandelier in a special edition colour, which matched the finish to the LA MANUFACUTRE orange. There were 3 speakers from each of the respective brands; Nathaniel Garcia of Founded by Garcia, Dragan Vuko of Anony, and Marilisa Dalle Nogare of LA Manufacture.

LA MANUFACUTRE is a brand where design and fashion collide. A brand where a certain je ne sais quoi of French allure meets the best Italian craftsmanship. A certain idea of French lifestyle (re)interpreted by world-renowned international designers. Each collection will highlight world-class craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics, and enduring quality.

Anony is a Toronto-based lighting and product design studio, with local manufacturing capabilities and the latest technology being elemental to their design process. They’re concerned with the entire life cycle of their product. In pursuit of creating an object that has longevity, every stage of life is considered.

AZURE Magazine is an award-winning, international magazine with a focus on contemporary architecture and design. In six visually stunning issues a year, they deliver coverage of architecture, interiors, product design, landscape design, and urbanism.
