Ēclos Capsule Collection

Five Designers, Five Original Works, One Innovative Material.

The Ēclos Capsule Collection debuts five new designs by five Canadian designers from across the country, each exploring Cosentino’s next-generation mineral surface through furniture, objects and sculptural works.

Presented by Cosentino in collaboration with DesignTO, the inaugural collection brings together Christopher Cornecelli (Toronto), Thom Fougere (Montréal), Azadeh Garshasbi of Blend Studio (Vancouver), Nicole Marion of Studio Marion (Winnipeg), Lisamarie Vitaro of Studio LVID (Toronto).

Selected through a national open call that attracted more than 100 submissions, the designers were invited to explore new applications for Ēclos, rethinking how a mineral surface can be shaped, assembled, and experienced.

The resulting collection includes a dramatic bench that plays with balance and cantilevered forms, an interlocking chair constructed from precisely cut slabs, modular surfaces designed for play and interaction, and objects that bring stone into unexpected relationships with everyday living.

The five projects were selected by an international jury spanning architecture, design, art, and media, including HaeAhn Kwon, Luca Nichetto, Elizabeth Pagliacolo, Nicholas Sangaré, and Brigitte Shim, with Eduardo Cosentino.

Making its debut during the DesignTO Festival at Cosentino’s Toronto showroom, the exhibition offers visitors a first look at five distinct interpretations of a single material.
