Shop Tour | Montauk


Earlier in November, Earl headed downtown to meet up with Ivan at Montauk Sofa, one of our favorite furniture stores here in Vancouver for a casual photo shoot.  Their gastown location is a beautiful vintage brick building which they completely gutted –taking out part of the second floor and opening up the building to a modern industrial-inspired steel, beam and brick space  Inside as you'll see is filled with some of Montauk's amazing designs including a select group of iconic Danish pieces (Fabricus and Katsholm). More after the jump.  (Sofa shown above - victoria).

Montauk was founded by Tim Zyto in 1995 who teamed up with Danny Chartier where they initially offered up a style that reflected the elegance of the residences of Montauk in Long Island, New York at the time (a traditional rounded corner slip-cover style).  They wanted people to like their pieces for their quality, look and comfort.  Just walking up to a piece you can see the beautiful workmanship and quality involved, and the timeless designs.  A perfect combination for a long lasting piece of furniture.
