Molo

Less is more. How can three abusively clichéd words be used as a conceptual premise for everything from sustainable architecture to avant-garde design? For the last four years, Canada’s Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen, and Robert Pasut have been illuminating the downstage of modern design with their Vancouver-based lovechild, Molo Design, proving that minimalism and conceptuality can play nice. Molo, a multidisciplinary design platform with a concentration on materials and creative space-manipulation, is a workshop of “critique and compromise”. Since 2003, the Molo trio has been delivering the goods by constantly fluxing and fusing the designers’ perspectives. From tubular champagne flutes that make cocktails look like they’re floating in midair to sculptural rock formations made with industrial byproducts, their award-winning designs have made significant ripples on a sea of minimalism.
