DesignTO | A Tribe Called Sagrada | An exhibition by Annie Legault

  • - |
  • The Lobby | Ace Hotel Toronto
  • 47-53 Wentworth Ave

A Tribe Called Sagrada is a collectible series of sculptural lamps that pays tribute to the grandeur of heritage architecture. Inspired by timeless structures, the designs incorporate elements such as arches, intricate geometric patterns, and textures reminiscent of stone and stained glass. Each piece is handcrafted, highlighting the artistry and precision of traditional craftsmanship while reimagining it in a contemporary context.

These lamps are more than functional objects—they are illuminated sculptures that transform spaces. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates their architectural details, evoking the awe-inspiring essence of historic landmarks.

“This series reflects my dedication to preserving and celebrating cultural heritage through design. It bridges the gap between past and present, offering a modern interpretation of iconic architectural forms. Each piece is a testament to the nobility of handmade work, inviting viewers to connect with history in a tactile and meaningful way.”

On view from January 21-March 2.
