Macdonald Realty Luxury Magazine - Winter 2018

A message from Macdonald As 2018 comes to a close, I’m pleased to share this first edition of our new look magazine with our readers. For the last year and a half we’ve been working with one of Vancouver’s best creative agencies. Our mission? To modernize our Macdonald brand without losing the ties to our heritage. Founded in Vancouver in 1944, Macdonald Realty will be celebrating our 75th anniversary this coming year and the milestone provides a perfect opportunity to put a new face on our historic brand. We unveiled our new logos and complete brand refresh at our annual agent conference in October. The response has been phenomenal and we’re in the process of transitioning our 20 offices and 1000 agents over to the new materials. Check out page 20 for an inside look at some of our new branding. Who knows the luxury lifestyle? We do. In this winter edition of Macdonald Luxury Collection we’re shining a spotlight on the unconventional and bespoke in our Curated feature (page 40), as well as highlighting three brands bringing talented textile artists to the forefront in our Artisan feature (page 6). Our resident sommelier makes her recommendations for Vancouver Island wines what will pair well with your holiday entertaining. Warm holiday wishes, ROSEY HUDSON Marketing Director Macdonald Real Estate Group Inc. Prices current as of November 23, 2018.

ARTTISAEXTILESN Textiles add warmth and character to a home. Temptingly tactile, they often serve as a way to connect disparate design elements to create an overall harmonious effect. Textiles also tell their own story, one of heritage and distance. While woven textiles and rugs have always been sourced from around the world, today savvy brands are bringing the stories of these pieces and the talented artists who create them into the spotlight.ARTISAN 1 TrekoTreko, which means ‘yarn of wool’ in native Chilean dialect offers a line of luxury textiles handcrafted on Chiloé, a remote island off the coast of Chile. Founded by Chilean native Catalina Marin, the company creates modern pieces using traditional weaving and knitting techniques dating from the 16th century. Each piece is totally unique as all the products are commissioned and handmade by the craftswomen of Chiloé. At the same time, they bring a whole new meaning to “locally sourced” as the textiles are made with 100% natural wool from ‘Chilota’ sheep that are born and raised on the island. Products are available to the design trade and in select retail locations throughout California. trekochile.com 2 The Citizenry Taking a hands-on approach to the question of sourcing textiles, The Citizenry team personally travels to each country it works with to build long-term sustainable relationships with artisans. The company’s commitment to transparency includes telling the stories of the individual weavers, studios and collectives, helping to preserve traditional techniques around the globe. Their commitment to giving back has The Citizenry investing 10 percent of their proceeds directly back into artisan communities through entrepreneur grants. Last year’s grant supported the weavers of Bougemez in Morocco, who create intricate pieces such as the Beni Ourain rugs, which take a month to complete, as they are hand-knotted from sheep’s wool by six individual weavers. the-citizenry.com 3 Osborne & Little Founded in the 1960s, the esteemed brand of Osborne & Little is well-known for wallpapers and fabrics that sing with creativity and add richness and depth to walls and furnishings. Their Venice collection embraces the feeling of the palazzi on Venice’s Grand Canal with vibrant prints embracing bold florals and graphic designs. The O&L studio tells the stories of visits to art museums, palaces and the sun-kissed Italian Riviera through opulent prints and woven velvets. osborneandlittle.com Courtesy of Luxury Portfolio International® ||6
