Live Magazine

Smart Distillations of Stimulating Gatherings

Live Magazine is a traveling editorial project. For each issue, we attend an event and create multimedia stories about its most stimulating ideas and conversations. We also become part of the proceedings, building a pop-up space to talk with attendees, gather on-the-spot reactions, and create and sell limited-run objects. Each issue is published shortly after—and sometimes during!—the event, creating immediate context and insight that becomes a lasting artifact.

The Frontier Tuque

The World’s Best Winter Hat

The Frontier Tuque is the product of designing a winter hat by putting performance and sustainability first—without the common restrictions created by market costs and production efficiencies. Over a period of eighteen months, our team brought this product from idea to market. Upon launch, we sold out two consecutive production runs and found ourselves featured on the front page of the Toronto Star, Fast Company, Outdoor Magazine, the CBC, Toronto Life, and more. Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s family company bought fifty and, when asked why, said it was because they were “cooler than Patagonia.” We also held an exhibition to share the esoteric research, iterative prototyping, and invaluable lessons learned.
