A Fine Balance

Solo acts, from U.K. lighting designer Michael Anatassiades to Div. 12, a metal furniture start-up located in a burned-out shed in Edmonton.

How do small studios make it on their own? Through trial, tribulation and risk, for sure. This issue features visionaries pursuing their own paths, including London lighting designer Michael Anatassiades who maintains his own label while working with major brands. In Edmonton, Geoffrey Lilge has set up shop inside an industrial shed that is still charred from a recent fire. Called Div. 12, the remote workshop is crafting chairs, benches and stools by some of Canada’s best designers.
