Design according to life in Montreal: The work of MRDK

The local creative force of Guillaume Ménard and David Dworkind of the Montreal-based studio MRDK is true to Montreal, treating its culture and the way people live in it as a source of inspiration.

It’s an approach to design that’s produced a body of interior and architectural work featuring some of the city’s most stunning and memorable restaurants, bars, and cafés.

Perhaps it’s only natural that the two designers have focused on places of hospitality, as they find a bit of home in the work they do.

“We’re mainly inspired by the vibe and feel of Montreal,” Guillaume says over a mid-afternoon video call with David. “How people live here, understand their limits, how they start to feel comfortable and stop feeling comfortable.”
