Andreu World Toronto Facade

We are very excited to open the new Andreu World Toronto Studio at 340 King St. East, in the heart of the King East Design District in Downtown Toronto. The space was designed in collaboration with Studio Parisotto Samad. See some words about the new space below featured in the May issue of Designlines, written by Silvana Longo.

“Previously housed within our Dufferin Street showroom, Andreu World Toronto has made a move southeastward when Nathaniel Garcia, owner of Founded by Garcia, recognized the need to provide the brand with its own comprehensive experience.

Inspired by Andreu World’s Patricia Urquiola-designed Milan showroom, Garcia was struck by the evolved design concept. “I knew I wanted to recreate this in Toronto as soon as I saw it during Salone del Mobile Milano,” remembers Garcia. In earnest, he invited Hamid Samad and Sara Parisotto of Studio Parisotto Samad for Commute Design Studio to the Milan showroom and promptly asked them to design the Toronto location.

The corporate showroom feel has been replaced with softer lighting, inviting vignettes and vintage elements that bring a tactile touch while capturing the soul of a historically rich building enveloped within the exposed brick walls of Old Town Toronto. Parisotto and Samad meticulously craft every detail to create a multi-sensory experience. Currently restoring their 18th-century Italian villa in the Ferrara region, “We design in Toronto and fabricate in Italy,” says Samad. Using high-tech fabrication laser 3D printing, the art installations spattered throughout the studio and adjoining showroom furnished with Andreu World pieces bring visual interest, warmth and a sense of the unexpected.”
