SOUK HABITAT
What a unique experience my collaborative presence at Souk Habitat was!
Souk Habitat was a gorgeous, contemporary space that celebrated and promoted Montreal’s design community. Radiating a lived-in feeling, the sprawling space of 9300 sqft extended an intimate retail experience, presenting in context the year’s selected products. Design aficionados could book in-person slots to peruse and shop everything in the shoppable home.
This was located on the 20th level of Place Ville Marie and was open by pre-booked appointment to the public.
For a weekend, I was invited to storm the place with fashion designer Noémie Vaillancourt (Noémiah) and ceramic artist Stéphanie Goyer (Goye) as part of a event called simply "Meet the designers". The public was then invited to register and participate in workshops and conversations on collaborative and interdisciplinary creation.
This event resulted in an exclusive collection of airy dresses and shirts created by Noémiah.
It all culminated with the eighteenth edition of the Souk, a major market for Montreal designers. We then stormed the mezzanine section of Place Ville Marie, a unique and larger than life space in the heart of downtown Montreal.
