About Us

About Us

When in 2016 we opened Eleven Stories Furniture, we had in mind since the beginning the idea tocreate a high-end collection, inspired by the beauty and purity of lines of the West Coast Modernism, the Architectural style that made Vancouver, and the west coast of the US and Canada, famous in the world.

We then made research about the inspirations, the architectural elements, the philosophy that features this architectural style, and we synthetize it into the concept “essentialism”, or the research of everything that is truly important in life.

Our furniture is carefully designed and manufactured, to offer to our customers the best quality both in terms of materials and technology. We use expert and talented artisans and suppliers, both in Italy and Canada, carefully selected based on the specific needs of our collection.
