Contexture Designs

I read about Contexture Designs in the Toronto Star. They're based in Vacouver and are made up of Nathan Lee and Trevor Coghill, both who have backgrounds in landscape architecture. Most of their design concepts are made from found objects. From cassette tapes and old 45s that are cut and shaped into cases for your ipod, to old skates that are taken and made into functioning street shoes and boots, the design duo's work emphasizes simple, elegant and sustainable design, and is often inspired by reclaimed materials with historical, cultural or environmental significance.
You can check out some of their designs at http://www.contexture.ca/
(All the 45 ipod cases are sold out.. darn!)
