Oh, Canada!
It used to be that Canada’s main style exports were Roots sweatshirts and mukluks. But the country has been cultivating a first-class stable of talented young designers, and their work has quietly migrated south to such high-end furniture stores as the Future Perfect and Matter. Judging by these six design companies, there’s a lot to be said for neighborly love.

Initially, siblings Thien and My Ta Trung designed their streamlined
collections around a single material, like felt or metal, but now the
Montreal-based duo has gone in
the opposite direction. Clients can
customize Domison’s newest line,
for instance, mixing and
matching shelves for a storage unit (left). “All the pieces can be
transformed,”
says Thien. “The world is changing
constantly, and furniture can’t just
stay the same.” domison.com
