Description

The original, award-winning “Garrison” was a sculptural iron casting intended for use as a stool or side table. It recycled two tons of rebar, enough to release a limited-edition run of 102 units, salvaged from the 2015 demolition of the namesake Garrison bridge near Toronto’s Fort York.

The first 51 units of the “Garrison” series featured a bronze-coated tip. That detail was the inspiration behind this recent addition to the line, limited to 30 units, in which the entire unit is cast in solid bronze and given a mirror-polished, waxed finish. STACKLAB and its partnering firm Rebart procured two tons of bridge rebar, enough to release a limited-edition run of 102 units. Units 52 to 102 are all iron.

Honouring central-eastern Canada’s manufacturing heritage, the “Garrison” was cast in sand – the same process used to produce machine parts for heavy industry. The sand-casting process produces faintly perceptible irregularities that enhance the Garrison’s tactile appeal.

About STACKLAB Visit Showroom →

STACKLAB is a multi-disciplinary design practice based in Toronto. Through its products and projects, the studio aims to provoke meaningful discourse about our ways of living. Founded by Jeff Forrest in 2013, STACKLAB is known for its innovative blend of design, tech and circular manufacturing. Rather than work backwards from the desired output, such as a new chair or a home, the team applies a diverse set of skills and perspectives to problems worth solving. With a particular passion for the challenges facing regional manufacturing, the studio believes that the key to smarter, more efficient and better-for-the-environment living is its signature systems-based approach. Taking inspiration from the technology ‘stack’, which leverages existing technologies, infrastructures and skills to create iterative, holistic solutions, STACKLAB’s regional network of experts in science and craft enables cross-pollination throughout the process. Oftentimes with the aid of an algorithm, every step is optimized to ensure it does the maximum with the minimum; opening up opportunities for material upcycling, waste reduction and alternate scenarios for reuse. STACKLAB strongly believes in design as a vehicle for critical thinking. The team approaches every problem without bias toward a particular method or medium to maintain its focus on impact. Their output might therefore be described as a container for new ideas; the result of a rigorous process in pursuit of the best solution.
