TUCK STUDIO SPRING 2018

With Spring finally here, we have reinvented the store once again! Twice a year we close up shop, put on our work clothes and renovate and redesign the store from top to bottom.  This season we’ve turned the store on its head by switching all our light bulbs to environmentally friendly LED, painting the walls white, adding new wallpapers from Cole & Son, and bringing in new products from our long time partners Gus* Modern, EQ3, Umbra, and more!

We enlisted the services of Matt Fitzpatrick to film 5 days of renovations in the front section of our store and condense it into just than 2 minutes! 

In addition to Matt’s time lapse, we called on our long time collaborator and photographer extraordinaire, Kelly Lawson to photograph Tuck’s new interiors, furnishings and decor!

“Map Paintings, my most recent body of work, are derived from Google Maps locations. Selected geographic areas from Saint John and surrounding areas are paired with a word or phrase which is integrated into the texture and pattern of the painted map image. Through these works I attempt to draw connections between physical places with less tangible thoughts and memories, using a colourful and playful palette to emphasize form, composition and pattern.” – Chris Lloyd

After living with the warm incandescent bulbs at Tuck for over 2 years the decision to switch to LED was easy! We enlisted the services of our friends at Duncan’s Electrical to change every bulb in the ceiling, 17 feet high!

We hung over 400 of Umbra’s new Vine Wall Decor for our window installation! Paired with glass shelves from Metcalf Glass, installed by Christoph from CM Woodcraft, to display EQ3’s Posey Vases, and brand new lighting it’s simply… divine! Thank you especially to Alex, Craig, Judith for hanging the lights and all those vines!  And, we are always in awe of Joshua’s ability to ‘dress a window’.
