Style Garage’s designs are “made to order” and the showroom shows off some really cool furniture (such as that from associates “Gus Modern”), along with funky accessories, many with a heavy Canadiana theme that immediately brought Douglas Coupland to mind. There’s nothing tacky or old-fashioned here though, it’s a fairly serious but friendly vibe at the same time. Nifty pillows with screen printed maps of Canada, and a handful of books on art/design/photography (Bauhaus, Edward Burtynsky’s “Oil”) round out the shop – giving it the feel of a highly artistic and design-centric endeavor. It’s not too far from Trinity Bellwoods Park and I suggest it’s a great place to stop on a crosstown walk, after you have a lunch at a cafe and check out some of the art galleries in the area.
