Handcrafted in Canada

Crafted in Canada, designed for you

Every piece we offer is made by Canadian artisans and tailored to your taste, lifestyle and space. Here’s how a custom piece comes together.

Over 400 fabrics and leathers to see and touch in the showroom.
  1. Start with a style

    Pick a sofa, chair, bed or dining table from the collection, or bring your own idea to the showroom.

  2. Make it fit

    Set the size to the inch, then choose arm and leg styles and the seat’s depth, height and firmness.

  3. Choose your materials

    Italian, Brazilian and Argentinian leathers, performance and FiberGuard fabrics, wood finishes and hardware. Or bring your own fabric.

  4. Handcrafted in Canada

    Built on solid or engineered hardwood frames by makers with over 30 years in high-end upholstery, and backed by a comprehensive warranty.

  5. Delivered to your room

    Elena can measure your space before you order and help on delivery day, so every piece lands where it should.

Client reviews

What our clients say

Read all reviews

Elena makes difficult jobs seem fun, and the results are spectacular! I’ve hired her for three separate custom furniture orders and I have been very happy each time. Highly recommend.

Lisa T.

She is very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns, as this was my first experience building a custom sofa. She came to my home to measure my space and even assisted in the delivery process.

Trish T.

You certainly went above and beyond to ensure I got what I wanted and were delightful to work with as well.
