“IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE WORKED WITH STUDIO AUTHOR ON THE INTERIOR DESIGN OF OUR MEN’S MULTIBRAND CLOTHING SHOWROOM.

EVERY STAGE OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS WAS MET WITH THEIR TRADEMARK ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND THEIR MASTERFUL EYE WAS PARTICULARLY EVIDENT IN CAREFULLY CHOSEN MATERIALS AND UNIQUE DESIGN SOLUTIONS. AS OUR OWN BUSINESS DEALS DIRECTLY WITH BUYERS FROM PRESTIGIOUS RETAIL ACCOUNTS SUCH AS HARRY ROSEN, HOLT RENFREW LIMITED AND MANY OTHERS ACROSS CANADA AND THE USA, IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE A SHOWROOM SPACE THAT CONVEYED A SENSE OF QUALITY AND SUBTLE LUXURY. NOT ONLY ARE THE VISUAL AND THE TACTILE TO BE DELIGHTED, BUT A MOOD MUST ALSO BE CREATED. STUDIO AUTHOR HAS ACHIEVED JUST THAT FOR OUR SHOWROOM AT EVERY POSSIBLE LEVEL.”
