Shops We Love: Kantelberg & Co.
Published on December 23, 2015
After a decade in the Designers Walk building in Toronto, Kantelberg Antiques founder and designer Jill Kantelberg realized her company had outgrown both its name and floor space, and relaunched in a renovated, 4,500-square-foot warehouse in the Castlefield design district as Kantelberg & Co.
Designers and homeowners frequent Kantelberg & Co. for its stock of unique and elegantly decontextualized pieces. Visitors might find an antique trophy chair fashioned from antlers on one visit, and a coffee table made of art-packing crates on the next. As a teenager, Kantelberg cultivated an appreciation for unique color combinations and visual details during visits to Cologne’s markets and cathedrals. Today, they continue to inspire her collection of restored architectural salvage, one-of-a-kind antiques, enduring modern pieces and specialty European art. “I prefer pieces with a substantial and honest presence,” says Kantelberg.
Located 1150 Castlefield Ave., Unit B, Toronto.
