EQ3, a Canadian brand that has morphed through three family generations of artisan craftsmanship, debuted a timeless furniture and homeware collection for Spring/Summer 2023. The striking designs elegantly embrace simplicity and versatility. EQ3's 2023 sofa range is a great example of this. The Bird collection, which is the brand's first foray into predominantly foam construction, draws inspiration from 70s and 80s design sensibilities. The highly modular piece offers endless configurations to suit any space. Similar space affordances are offered with EQ3's "made to grow with you" Stage Sofa and the highly customizable Carefree Sofa.' Elsewhere in the Spring/Summer 2023 timeless furniture capsule, the Canadian brand embraces "playful versatility" with the Wander Ottomans and "elevated essentials" like the Wavy and Delight Towels.
During the creation of this timeless furniture and homeware collection, EQ3 embraced the tenets of slow design—"the essence and belief that less is more."
