365 days of cool crafts

We can now shop at one of our favourite artisan events all year long. The One of a Kind Show has a new online store featuring beautiful handmade products, like this water carafe by Montreal designers A+J.

Carafe & mug, $75, One of a Kind Online.

Woven lounge chairs

Constructed from long-lasting, durable Solartex material, this intricately woven chair reminds us of those wicker peacock chairs popular in the ’70s. In two versatile shades (espresso and white) they’re just as comfy as they are pretty.

Chair, $725, Andrew Richard Designs.

Patterned platters

These boldly coloured trays are made from melamine-coated birchwood, which makes them easy to wash and virtually unbreakable. Perfect for outdoor patios or by the pool.

Tray, $66, Gretel.

Three-in-one mowers

Free up storage space in your garage with this new do-it-all lawn mower that easily converts to a string trimmer and edger. It’s ideal for small, urban gardens or hard-to-reach places and is available in both corded and cordless models.
