Your local design re-education starts with these Montreal creatives & artists

Montreal’s design scene was always thriving, but established and new breeds of local designers are expanding the city's tapestry with sheer creativity, innovation, and sustainability.

Here, we spotlight 20 trailblazers who call Montreal home and are merging artistry and eco-conscious practices to deliver pieces that tell stories of heritage, experimentation, and individuality.

Challenging norms and redefining their crafts, this lineup features everything from avant-garde knitwear and playful, upcycled accessories to bold tufted rugs, sculptural luminaires, sustainable swimwear, functional ceramics, and farm-to-garment must-haves.

COMING AGE

Coming Age is redefining custom adornment in Montreal, blending luxury craftsmanship with a deeply personal artistic approach. Founded in 2021 by creative duo Kristina Halladay-Warren and Véronik Langlois, the women-owned studio specializes in custom grillz and fine jewelry, merging their professional backgrounds in jewelry-making and product design. Each piece—whether a bespoke set of grillz or a silver ready-to-wear accessory—becomes a tangible expression of the wearer’s identity, crafted by hand with precision and care.
