Designer Spotlight: Geoffrey Lilge
The Canadian-born Geoffrey Lilge is a design innovator. He has produced countless pieces of furniture and home accessories as the Design Director for Pure Design from 1993 to 2004, and during this time their collection was featured in the MoMA Design Encyclopedia. He has recently branched out to do his own work, inspired by the beauty and nature around him in his home town of Edmonton, Alberta. The above pictured L40 chair is modern, angled, and exudes attitude. His other work is streamlined and minimalist as well, and encompasses everything from tables made of solid slabs of maple to branch-like vases made of stone.
