The new Canadian Design Resource blog (should evolve to a wiki?) is an open source gallery of
sorts, bringing together a range of Canadian product, graphic design, fashion and memorabilia - with a clear bias to the everyday, like the 70's Muk Luks above or Nortel phones below. Browsing the site you realize just how central design, as expressed through everyday objects, is to your sense of cultural place. This is the brillance of this project. Particularly for Canadians.
I love this style of ceramics, though I had never really considered them as a group. This Expo 67 collection is worth a look, if nothing else for it's legendary use of typeface optima.
This is an inspired project and I am looking forward to helping it grow. You can too. If you've got something to add, get with the CDR here.

One of my favorite pieces of cubist architecture came out of Expo 67. It is now a housing complex (called Habitat 67) on the way to the Montreal Casino and Formula One race track :-)

Thanks for the post Organic! To echo Troy's comment, we would love to hear from anyone interested in the design, identity and culture. Yankees are invited to!
