by Tazim Damji

Based in Vancouver, Union Wood Company creates unique, vintage-style furniture and lighting. . . Union Wood Co is simply, an aesthetic of vintage and industrial objects.

Spring Décor Trend – 70s Influence

by Tazim Damji

My favourite style for fashion is back this season - 1970s style! I love this style for clothing as well as home décor - but perhaps, not all together, like in the picture below: via Be Interior Decorator The trend of 1970s fashion is more about the patterns popular at the time, and individual pieces, rather than this all-out look. Patterns that we can take inspiration from: houndstooth zig-zags This room has more than enough different patterns, colours and pieces, to give you ...

Herman Miller Classic Furniture Design

by Tazim Damji

With the goal of creating a chair that has the "warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman's mitt.", the Eames lounge chair and ottoman turned in to a classic furniture set. These pieces are classic, and still relevant in contemporary interiors, in 2006 celebrating their 50th anniversary. This lounge set is just one design classic available on one of my favourite websites - allmodern.com . I am lucky to have an opportunity to review another product for CSNStores, and will either ...

Creating a Table DIY {Guest Post}

by Tazim Damji

When I was in my college Art Design class our final project was to design something that we always wanted to design. For as long as I can remember I wanted to make my own table for my group. So I traveled to Home Depot and got the supplies. I really didn’t know how to put this together so I will tell you what not to do from the mistakes that I made during this process. First off I know now that you do not want to stain everything before you put it together. Why? Because then the wood glue ...

Inventory Stockroom – Vancouver

by Tazim Damji

inventory stockroom

A Curation of Ideas in Product, Craft and Culture Stores with carefully curated selections of products housed in heritage buildings particularly intrigue me. The 'problem' is that the curated products on their own, lying on a wooden table or on an old-looking shelf, make me curious to know more. . . why were these objects chosen and what makes them so special? Gastown , a historic area inVancouver where design, decor and fashion stores sit next to tourist shops, has a new addition to the ...

Old Faithful Housewares Shop – Vancouver

by Tazim Damji

Source: oldfaithfulshop.com via Tazim on Pinterest   Vancouver's Gastown area, once the main city centre, still housing a plethora of old buildings, contains a wide variety of great designer stores: both clothing and furniture/home goods. On a wander through the area (it is on the way to downtown proper from where I live, so I walk through it a few times a week) the other day, I was pleased to see that the long-empty storefront on West Cordova Street had finally been ...
