Andreu World Toronto Showroom

The Client from Hell building is a unique studio and creative workshop which showcases the synthesis of creativity, process, and design, all while maintaining an authentic and distinctive take on a modern-day furniture showroom. Located at 1390 Dufferin Street in downtown Toronto, the Client from Hell building has a long history dating back to the early 1900’s, when it opened as Benson’s Auto Body shop. Currently, the building is occupied by the studios of Founded by Garcia - which represents a curated portfolio of international design brands to architects and designers - as well as Biography Design, a graphic design consultancy. As of October 2020, the building is home to the first ever Andreu World showroom in Canada. The entire space is 510 sq m, while the Andreu World Toronto showroom is approximately 75 sq m. The atmospheric studio has been host to multiple art exhibitions and installations as a part of a variety of festivals and stand alone shows. The area near the main entrance of the space is dedicated to an evolving foyer highlighting ongoing projects and new furniture pieces from an array of brands.
