It was love at first bike for Suzanne Carlsen and Noah Rosen. She: a former Harbourfront Centre resident artist noted for meticulous metalwork (think Penny Farthing brooches and head tube ornaments). He: a Sheridan ceramics grad and founder of custom bicycle painting shop VéloColour. Together: they’ve been peddling things for people, places and two-wheelers since they joined forces in 2011. Carl & Rose’s planters are made from vintage glass punch bowls and decanters that are stacked, fused and finished with custom-tinted automotive paint. From $165; available at Made, 867A Dundas St W and Distill, 24 Tank House Ln. www.carlandrose.com
