Canadian design at Umbra
Everyone knows Umbra for their enormous collection of picture frames (almost 300 different ones). Pretty much if you need a contemporary looking frame, they've got something for you.
What you might not have known is that a lot of their design comes out of their design studios in Toronto. Or, that they've also got a few nifty things besides photo frames.
I particularly like their Postino mailbox, $77 CAD (which thankfully we will be inheriting with our new place). It sure beats your standard, black-painted, rusted-out ol' mailbox.
These Nestle nesting tables are quite nice too, though at $715 CAD, might be a bit pricey until you consider they're solid oak and made with beautifully put together finger joints (not ugly visible fasteners) -- and there's three of them!
Finally, the Rolly Storage mirror, $220 CAD offers a convenient, hidden place to stash the keys, mail, stuff that you gotta hide because people are coming over right now!
So, if you're looking for some good ol' Canadian design (eh!), go and check out Umbra and their full collection of goods.

wow, everything you posted is beautiful! im really into wood when it comes to tables and anything design. our friends gave us a metal coffee table because since we didnt have one, we "needed one"...i did not want a coffee table, and i especially didnt want a metal one. i like bold lines, this thing is all rickety and wobbly and squeaks if you run into it. yeah, the worst part is- they were so excited to give it to us (ugh, a glass top too)...anyway, they go "oooh we had people offering us money for this table, and they are all mad we're just giving it away!" i want to tell them to take it back but i dont know how, haha, they think its the coolest table in the world. hmph. anyway, i love what you posted.
One man's milkcrate is another man's coffee table. Or something to that effect :)
