Reclaim + Repair: The Mahogany Project
FOR Sale!
Reclaim + Repair: The Mahogany Project, curated by Propellor Studio, in collaboration with the Museum of Vancouver, showcases the creativity and craft of 31 emerging and seasoned local designers and makers.
They created 22 objects—from furniture, lighting and household objects, to jewelry and much more—made from vintage mahogany that was harvested between the 1950s and 1970s in Guatemala and Nicaragua. This wood came from a now closed local boating equipment business. Their leftover wood went into storage for many years before being donated to the MOV.
The idea for Reclaim + Repair: The Mahogany Project was born out of a desire to honour this material and the places from which it originated.
And now you can own a piece of it!
The works in the exhibition are for sale. Proceeds from the sale will be divided between the designer, MOV, and an Indigenous-led reforestation program in Central America, where the mahogany was extracted.
Prices and details are listed below. To make a purchase, contact the MOV’s Director of Operations, Brendan Brooks at bbrooks@museumofvancouver.ca or 604-730-5304.
Each piece is one of a kind! While some of these artists and designers have made similar versions of these items, these are the only ones made from vintage mahogany. All items must remain on display until the end of the exhibition on August 7, 2024. Arrangements for pick up can be made at time of purchase. For questions regarding sales, connect with Brendan at bbrooks@museumofvancouver.ca.
