Born in 1922 in Paris, Jacques Guillon established himself in Montréal and quickly became a Canadian design pioneer. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach and bringing together a multi-talented team of designers his work spans across industrial design, interior design, graphic design and architecture. His very first creation, a dining room set, displayed a modernism previously unseen in Quebec furniture. The workplace environment, the product marketing process, the development of corporate identity programs and the practical aspect of urban transportation systems rapidly became some of this designer’s preferred interests.
Many of his projects have left their mark – and continue to have an impact – on Montréal, Canadian and North American landscapes. Among his most easily recognized accomplishments is the symbol and signage system for the Montréal Métro. Jacques S. Guillon has designed numerous interior layouts,a wide range of office furniture, among others the Alumna collection by Artwood, corporate identity programs and has realized many transport-related projects. He participated in mounting exhibitions that include the scientific exhibit at the Pavilion of Man at Expo 67 and many others at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa.

Victoria Wilmotte was born in 1985 in Paris, where she studied interior design. She later earned her master’s degree in product design at the Royal College of Art in London. After graduating, she returned to her home town of Paris in 2008 and opened her first design studio, where she created designs for the Tools Gallery in Paris and works for her first solo show in 2009 in the Brussels Gallery Pierre Bergé et Associés. Victoria Wilmotte designed collections for a stone products manufacturer, for the online shop Made in Design, for Philips de Pury and Poliform, and repeatedly created individual designs for private customer projects.
Wilmotte’s design process can be compared to that of a sculptor: she weights volumes and empty spaces, removes the material until she finds a perfect angle or ideal curve, and polishes the surfaces to the point when they precisely achieve the structure, haptics and light refraction she seeks.

Established in 1980 by George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, Yabu Pushelberg is one of the world’s most admired multidisciplinary design practices with teams in New York and Toronto. Creating immersive and jaw-dropping experiences for some of the most innovative entrepreneurs, hotel groups and luxury brands, you would imagine them to be intimidating figures.
What those who work with them love is that the opposite is true. With disarming candor, an energetic and collaborative spirit, and the range to solve any brief, they truly approach design challenges with the same care and consideration an innkeeper does; designing for how people feel and interact as much as what they see.
