“Victor” Just For Laughs Logo/Mascot
Design: Vittorio Fiorucci
Client: Just For Laughs
Date:
This little green monster, apparently inspired by a monster that preys on Montreal, covers lots of territory. A logo, a symbol and a mascot, this character is the official mark of the immensely successful Just for Laughs comedy festival in the city and is seen in event site markers, costumes, inflatables, posters, t-shirts, letterhead and more.

“Dime Bag 3 is the ninth in an ongoing series of events by Isip and Stevens, bringing together over 200 artists from New York City and beyond representing an extraordinary variety of disciplines. Painters, illustrators, graphic designers, filmmakers, photographers, product designers, and others have been invited to create artworks specifically designed to be exhibited in 3-inch plastic bags: dime bags. Each artist was sent one of the symbolic baggies and asked to fill it in any way they wished.” (from the Dime Bag 3 website)

Nugent Rocking Chair
Design: Walter Nugent
Manufacturer: Walter Nugent Designs Limited, Oakville, ON.
Date: 1966
Paul Hutner Collection
In 1960, Walter Nugent submitted a US patent application for his unique “sitting furniture” design – basically, a flexible sprung-steel seat pan fixed to a rigid frame. By varying the configuration of seats and support structures, Nugent created a wide range of seating solutions, from Danish style lounge chairs like the C-15, to airport seating. The chair shown here was developed for hospital use and utilizes a high-back seat to provide support during the rocking motion.

Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
Design: Lawrie McIntosh
Manufacturer: GTE Automatic Electric, Brockville, Ontario
Date: 1960s
This was one of the last, if not the last, PBX telephone exchange to utilize electromagnetic relays. All subsequent exchanges used transistors and electronic circuitry. My resposibility was the total packaging of the exchange, including the exterior cabinets, the control panel, as well as some interior changes to accommodate the smaller, lighter and more manageable cabinets. Production began in the mid-sixties.
