We love to create spaces that truly make it feel like your home, and we’re always looking for ways to bring in that perfect mix of comfort, beauty, and quality. Over the years, we’ve been lucky to work with some incredible makers who help us do just that, and one of our longest and most trusted collaborations has been with Whittington & Co.


We’ve been partnering with Whittington for over 15 years (yes, really!), and they’ve become a bit of a behind-the-scenes hero in so many of our projects. If you’ve ever sunk into one of our custom sofas or admired a beautifully detailed chair in a room we designed, chances are it came from Whittington.

Built with Heart (and Hands)


Whittington has been crafting furniture right here in Canada since 1994. They were founded by four industry pros who knew that good design starts with great materials and time-honoured craftsmanship—and nearly three decades later, they’re still doing just that.


Everything is made in-house by a team of skilled artisans. They build each piece from the ground up - no shortcuts, no outsourcing - meaning every item is thoughtfully created, whether a fully custom design or a classic from their collection. And trust us, their attention to detail shows.




We’ve worked with them on everything from clean-lined contemporary sectionals to cozy, deep-seated loungers you never want to get up from. Their pieces not only look amazing, they hold up to real life—pets, kids, movie nights, and all.

Why We Keep Coming Back


There’s a lot to love about working with Whittington. They make the process feel easy and collaborative, and they’re always open to helping us tweak designs so they’re just right for our clients. Need a specific depth? A custom fabric? A unique leg finish? Done, done, and done.


They really understand that furniture isn’t just about filling a space—it’s about how people live in that space.  It needs to look good, but also feel good, and stand up to daily life. That’s where they shine.






The Custom Difference


One of our favourite things about Whittington is how customizable their work is. We can dream up something totally unique, and Whittington brings it to life - from concept to final stitch. Every time, it feels like magic, but really, it’s years of experience and a whole lot of care.



A Shared Love for Local

We are big believers in supporting Canadian-made whenever we can and celebrate the talent, skill and personal touch that go into handcrafted pieces.
