To mark its tenth anniversary, Casson Hardware presents “10 Years. 10 Vignettes.”, an exploration of the small details that shape how we experience our homes.

Ten curated compositions evoke familiar spaces: the entry, mudroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, children’s room, outdoor space and closet. Through architectural hardware, lighting and everyday objects, each vignette considers the relationship between practical function and personal expression.

A handle becomes our first encounter with a room. A hook offers a place to leave the day behind. A light changes the atmosphere around a table. Turning on the light switch when first entering the home. These modest elements punctuate our routines, bringing texture, pleasure and intention to the spaces we inhabit.

Presented at Casson’s Toronto studio, the installation invites visitors to look closely at materials, forms and combinations, and to reconsider details that often go unnoticed. Each composition suggests a way of living, revealing how even a small intervention can change the character of a space.

Founded by architectural designers Megan Cassidy and Jane Son, Casson has spent a decade championing thoughtful finishing details. This anniversary presentation brings its guiding principle, multum in parvo—much in little—to life.

Portrait of Casson Hardware founders Megan Cassidy and Jane Son
The smallest details leave the greatest impression. Founded in 2017 by Canadian architects Megan Cassidy and Jane Son, Casson was born from a shared belief that the smallest details often leave the greatest impression. After meeting on their first day at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Architecture, the lifelong friends spent years designing residential and commercial projects before creating Casson. Frustrated by how difficult it was to source beautifully crafted architectural hardware, they set out to curate a platform that makes exceptional design more accessible to architects, designers, builders, and homeowners alike.

Arranged across a reflective stainless steel table, the pieces rest on solid wood blocks, timber boards, and a marble slab, highlighting their varied forms, materials, and craftsmanship. A vintage pleated metal screen spans the background, creating a sculptural, textured backdrop that complements the clean lines and refined material palette of the display.
