Lovely design – tiffin lunch kit by Lorea Sinclaire

by | Feb 18, 2012 | Uncategorized


“Taking inspiration from Japanese bento boxes and indian tiffins, the bowls morph shape from a sturdy square bottom to a circular top. The form factor allows the bowls to fit together perfectly and intuitively. the components bind together securely with the use of a natural cloth elastic strap, held in place between the bottom bowls’ feet.”

1386 Cartwright Street, Granville Island
Opening: February 16th 6-8pm
Opened 10:30 – 5:30 daily February 16 – March 29th The Life and times of Abigail Tackle chronicles the artistic dreams and aspirations of a fictitious elderly woman from the Prairies. Gabriola Island ceramist Mariko McCrae merges Abigail’s dreams of one day visiting the oceans wide with her handbuilt ceramic efforts that are often anchored to historical examples. The result is a booty of work lifted from the annals of Christie’s and Sotheby’s auction catalogues that are made to walk the plank of contemporary subversions. Curated by Penny Parry.
