From Classic Shaker to Modern Maker: Meet Jason Burhop of Kastella
We speak to Jason Burhop of Montreal-based company Kastella, a made-to-order shop that's taking part in IDS Toronto's Maker section.
At the 2018Â IDS Toronto in January, we will again be sponsoring their Maker section, which helps give a platform to designers, makers and brands who are innovating, making a difference or creating design that betters our lives. The Maker section is perfect for businesses that have manufacturing capabilities, and are looking to expand distribution, and we are lucky to be part of the process of choosing them. We’re talking to two designer/makers from Maker to give you a taste of what you’re going to be seeing in January:
Jason Burhop of Kastella
Montreal-based company Kastella, led by designer/maker Jason Burhop is a made-to-order shop that takes pride in all the work that they do. Their handmade pieces are carefully crafted to meet each client’s specifications using natural materials and eco-friendly finishes. Back in the late 90s, Jason took over a friend?s furniture workshop where he spent many hours honing his skills and slowly designing his first collection. Now, even with a larger team of close to 20 people, he’s still committed to staying local and making sure that they keep manufacturing local. Additionally, he’s also been operating a retail space since 2003. I talked to him about how he got started and how he’s able to grow while staying committed to local manufacturing. S404 Credenza
