01
Kept small, on purpose.
We choose fewer pieces each season and keep them on the floor long enough to know them well. You will not find rotating stock here.
About the house
A small furniture house on East 7th Avenue.
Atelier opened in 2019 in a converted auto-body shop on the corner of East 7th and Rupert. It started, and still is, a working showroom — a place to see furniture in daylight, next to real walls, on real floors.
The house is operated by 1513256 B.C. LTD., a Vancouver company owned and run by the same two people who answer the phone. Most of what we sell is made in British Columbia, Quebec, Italy, and Japan.

How we work
Four things we believe about furniture.
02
Sold in person.
Most pieces are sold at the showroom — so you can sit in them, press the drawer closed, turn the table over. A few things can be ordered online.
03
Delivered by hand.
Larger pieces are delivered within Metro Vancouver by the studio directly. We uncrate in the room, remove all packaging, and take it with us.
04
Repairable, eventually.
We keep replacement hardware, cushions, and finish kits. A good chair should be repairable in twenty years.
Provenance
Most of what we sell, we’ve met the people who made.
The Halden table is built in a small workshop in Squamish. The Noor sofa is sewn in Saint-Hyacinthe. The Osa pendant comes from a family paper studio outside Kyoto, and the Kiln espresso machine is assembled in Milan.
We visit each year. We carry things we are willing to stand behind for a long time.
