Trevor Coghill and Nathan Lee of Vancouver industrial design studio Contexture Design, have always been known for their playful, eco-friendly accessories and stationery. Their ultra-simple Coffee Cuff, for example, is a single piece of bent wood that can be worn as a bracelet, but slipped onto a coffee cup as a sustainable alternative to the disposable sleeve. The duo recently announced the newest additions to their collection, including the Pollen Nation mobile, the latest addition to Contexture’s line of mobiles, which offers an ultra-simplistic take on the organization, communication and family system in the honeybee community. Not to leave a single scrap unused, the duo created Cutout Cards, a series of stationery made from the laser-cut leftover paper from the production of the mobiles. In the same vein, they designed the Mapbook journals—seriously, does anyone ever have enough journals?—that are made from 100 per cent recycled paper and are covered in one-of-a-kind maps from all over the world. Finally, for the young at heart, they’re also launching the Fly-Like-a-Hot-Dang Glider, which evokes the balsa wood gliders of the 1950s.

In Toronto Contexture products are available at the Design Exchange Shop and Paper Place.
