Wishbone | Console, Vanity, Desk
-
Description
STACKLAB’s signature cast-metal Wishbone leg represents the firm’s first foray into iterative, digital prototyping, a technique that surpasses physical testing in its ability to optimize form and significantly reduce waste.
The leg was originally created in aluminum to work with a thick hardwood tabletop. The form was optimized for several structural stresses, such as deflection and frequency. Since then, the materials palette has been expanded to include bronze and iron, which perform similarly.
The console and vanity tops are available in joined solid domestic hardwood boards with reinforcing stitch joints in the same metal as the legs.
The Wishbone collection honours central-eastern Canada’s manufacturing heritage. The Wishbone is cast in sand – the same process used to produce machine parts for heavy industry.
Dimensions:
• 107W x 38D x 84H

STACKLAB is a multi-disciplinary design practice based in Toronto. Through its products and projects, the studio aims to provoke meaningful discourse about our ways of living. Founded by Jeff Forrest in 2013, STACKLAB is known for its innovative blend of design, tech and circular manufacturing. Rather than work backwards from the desired output, such as a new chair or a home, the team applies a diverse set of skills and perspectives to problems worth solving. With a particular passion for the challenges facing regional manufacturing, the studio believes that the key to smarter, more efficient and better-for-the-environment living is its signature systems-based approach. Taking inspiration from the technology ‘stack’, which leverages existing technologies, infrastructures and skills to create iterative, holistic solutions, STACKLAB’s regional network of experts in science and craft enables cross-pollination throughout the process. Oftentimes with the aid of an algorithm, every step is optimized to ensure it does the maximum with the minimum; opening up opportunities for material upcycling, waste reduction and alternate scenarios for reuse. STACKLAB strongly believes in design as a vehicle for critical thinking. The team approaches every problem without bias toward a particular method or medium to maintain its focus on impact. Their output might therefore be described as a container for new ideas; the result of a rigorous process in pursuit of the best solution.
