Shops We Love: This Montreal Design Studio Expands Into A Shop & Café
When Korina Khamis and Eugenia Triandos launched their interior design studio in 2016, a retail shop was always part of the plan. First envisioned as a place to sell their locally sewn pillows, the concept grew to include favorite finds from their projects, such as vintage Turkish rugs, stone table lamps and antiques found on road trips around Quebec. Last year, the discovery of a vast, loft-like space in Montreal’s garment district finally set things in motion, and Hibou Home was born. Today, the space is home to not only their shop, but the Hibou Café and Hibou Design & Co. studio offices.

Set over 6,000-square-feet with an abundance of natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, the newly opened Hibou Home shop offers an ever-evolving inventory of custom furniture, accessories and textiles. Shelves of warm accents and table lamps line the windows of the shop.
The showroom is organized into vignettes, creating a residential feel. The arched cabinet, throws and chairs are all available for sale in the store and online.
“The area is evolving,” says Eugenia (right). “We’re seeing more creative industries move into the building, and we wanted to be a part of that shift.”
“Some of our Turkish runners are more than 100 years old,” says Korina. “We love giving them a chance at a second life in someone’s home.” This beautiful Turkish runner is $1200.
Hand-poured candles by Vancouver Candle Co. are available on Hibou Home’s new website along with several accessories.
“This herringbone tray is one of our bestsellers,” says Eugenia. “We’ve used it as an entryway catchall, in a dining room beneath a centerpiece, and as a jewelry or perfume corral.” The Natural Wooden Herringbone Rectangular Tray is $140.
Decorative Metal Storage Boxes in Brass are available on the Shop Hibou website, starting at $53.
“The clientele the café attracts naturally gravitates to Hibou Home,” says Korina. “And we love offering clients a warm beverage as they shop.”
