BARTER'S REVOLVE COLLECTION CELEBRATES THE RAW BEAUTY OF BC RED CEDAR

Provide welcomes the new 'Revolve' collection from Barter and BC based designer Kenneth Torrance to our showroom and coming soon online. This collection of stools, pillars and planters beautifully compliments his series of terracotta vessels that we introduced at Provide (and on EDIT) a few months ago.

Formally trained as a graphic designer, Kenneth approaches objects and space in a way that is designed to compliment one another to create something utterly unique. His love for craft and respect for the materials he uses, guides his design choices.

The collection 'Revolve' is a homage to west coast timber. Celebrating the massive forms of our coastal giants and indulging in the raw beauty of BC red cedar (from fallen trees). Paired with concrete for stability, and terracotta as a vessel for growing. Stack and configure in different ways, 'Revolve' invites us to become familiar with these natural materials and their union in this collection.

Visit Provide to experience these large-scale sculptural pieces in person. For sizing, pricing and other information, please contact us at 604.632.0095 or visit our website at www.providehome.com.

A THOUSAND YEAR OLD MATERIAL, TERRACOTTA ARRIVES AT PROVIDE

Provide is now showcasing BARTER, a unique collection of hand-made accessories for the home and table.

Terracotta is simple in material, yet complex in history. Part of Barter's goal is to develop a local, sustainable material palette, while connecting to natural materials of our origin. Terracotta has been used to gather water, cook food and tell stories for tens of thousands of years, it tells a story of nourishment with human essentials at the center.

Designed by Kenneth Torrance, this collection is hand-made in Vancouver with clays harvested from North America. It is a collaboration of local people, materials and stories and we are happy to be showcasing the collection here at the store.
