Nina Woodcroft“Simplicity” Featured Designer
“I draw inspiration from the simplest of things to create innovative, emotive designs
that capture and engage.”

Spark is all about the energy that ignites the creative process.
Welcome to Simplicity. We invite you to simplify…
It is the journal of a quietly understated, yet meaningful lifestyle not yet
harnessed and an inner beauty and contentment not yet realized. It is a
celebration not just of the things that touches us unexpectedly, but of the
calming and natural process that sets inspirations soaring and allows them to
form into clean, crisp ideas. In this issue, we explore the spark that improves
clarity and ultimately permits us to eliminate the unnecessary. Simplicity. It is
defined as the state of being simple, uncomplicated or uncompounded, yet is
the source of inspiration for many.

AIX FOUR-POSTER BEDAn elongated square pyramid is stripped of unnecessary vertices to create a chic
refuge, with rest and relaxation represented in its simplest form.
“The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction” – John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life

A gold-leaf finish can add a decorative and breathtaking touch to almost any substrate
including wood, leather, metal, plastic or glass. Mark David’s expertise and capabilities
in the delicate process of gold and silver gilding is superb. We have manufactured
countless gilded pieces throughout the years, with an entire silver-leaf desk (see inside
back cover) for Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto being our latest project.
YEU NIGHTSTAND
The simple oval form of this multi-functional fixture includes an integrated LED nightlight, recessed beneath the upper ellipse, and a generous storage cabinet with touch-release doors.

BOYARD BENCH
The burnished steel base of this bench is sculptural, angular and abrupt.
This structure is juxtaposed with a soft, hand-woven rush
to create an inviting and tactile bench.
Differences:“Simplicity and complexity need each other.” – John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life

RÉ LOUNGE CHAIR A contemporary lounge base supports the familiar form of a Windsor chair’s spindled
back, applying depth and character to a restrained form.
The One:“Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful.”
– John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life
Graphic designer and scientist John Maeda published his Laws of Simplicity
based on a research project. His book outlines ways for people to simplify their lives
in the face of growing complexity. These principles have inspired this refined,
sophisticated collection. Here we show that Simplicity is finding contentment
and beauty through the elimination of the unnecessary.
