Design Canada


I'm excited to announce a new regular series on automatism! Devoted to great Canadian design (old and new), Design Canada will feature both my own finds plus guest posts by fellow Canadian design bloggers, who'll be sharing their own favourites from the Great White North. Be sure to check back on Monday for the first installment!

Shown here is the very groovy Clairtone Project G Stereo, designed by Hugh Spencer in 1963. Wouldn't you love to have one of these in the living room?
