Stop Night Market 2015
Wedding Bench and Ladder
Recently Bare Minimum was privileged to design and build a reclaimed wooden ladder made of fallen down logs, and a bench made of all re-used wood products for a wedding. The bench was used for wedding guests to write on and will be used as a keepsake by the bride and groom. Wedding day photo credits go to our team member Emma Hannaford. Process photos can also be seen below.

Our group has recently submitted a design to the Mirens furniture design competition. Considering our team philosophy is about sustainable materials we intend that our coffee table design be made of planks of salvaged wood to give each table unique character. If our design wins Mirens will add our design to their collection and will be manufactured!

Meet me at the roundhouse, Tourism Toronto 2014
Bare Minimum claimed a second life for our cart from the Stop Night Market 2014 for an event called Meet Me at the roundhouse by Tourism Toronto at the Steam Whistle Brewery that took place on June 24th. The night was a great success, music by a great band, food by fantastic restaurants, and carts fabricated by amazing design groups. We were so proud to have been paired up with Cheesewerks, and if you're in the Toronto area and love cheese just as much as our group does we highly suggest you check out their restaurant! http://www.cheesewerks.com/
