TORONTO DESIGN OFFSITE

Work/Life

BRIEF

Going into its fourth year, Work/Life (formerly Compact Living) is an annual exhibition organized by the Toronto Design Offsite Festival in partnership with Umbra. A dozen new prototypes by Canadian designers are shown each year at the Umbra Store during the Toronto Design Offsite Festival. Previously run by invitation only, this year Work/Life is structured as an open call for any Canadian designer (living here or abroad) to submit.

About the exhibition

Showcasing the work of Canadian designers, Work/Life is an exhibition that explores fresh and original housewares and working products for contemporary life.

Work/Life will run during the annual city-wide Toronto Design Offsite Festival, January 18-27, 2019. All selected prototypes will also be considered for addition to Umbra’s growing roster of quality products, to be manufactured, distributed, and sold through the Umbra brand, with royalty. For example, The Bolo Planter by Simone Ferkul, a prototype from the 2017 exhibition, is now produced by Umbra and available for purchase.
