The Studio
Projet Shop was conceived in 2023 by Lauren Goodman and PJ Couture. Nestled in the small borough of Point-Saint-Charles, in Montreal’s South West, we develop thoughtfully made objects applying the highest standards of quality and care. From initial sketch to final finishing, each piece is carefully conceived and fabricated using locally sourced materials.
The studio specializes in creating bespoke furniture for design industry professionals and offers full service design and fabrication for designers and the general public. Whether you are in the design trade looking to see your ideas realized or interested in commissioning a custom piece, Projet Shop is here to help you achieve your vision. We also maintain an evolving in-house collection.
Projet Shop works with the design trade offering trade discounts and wholesale pricing options on pieces in our in-house collection. Please contact us for more details on our trade discounts.
