Designer Heidi Earnshaw creates beautiful handcrafted furniture that's simple yet functional.

Simply splendid

Toronto-based designer Simon Ford gained recognition last year for his innovative bench,  Geppetto’s Boy, with its asymmetric aesthetic and multi-purpose appeal. Playfully named after the story-book character Pinochio, this bench with coat hooks and movable mirrors will add interest to any entryway.
