Something new and, dare we say, necessary has opened in Vancouver’s westside Armoury District design hub. Provide, Vancouver’s premier destination for understated luxury homewares since 2007, has launched a home-furnishings concept called the Provide Design Gallery, focused on elevating and celebrating the very best of local, high-end furniture creators—with international designers playing a reversed, complementary role.
In order to redefine and reinvigorate the local furniture-design scene, the gallery-like space, inspired by similar artful venues found in Paris and Milan but with a unique West Coast feel, includes full-scale furniture, lighting, textiles, rugs and art collections by 15 to 20 designers and several artists (these will be routinely updated with unique and ever-evolving vignettes, allowing you to truly picture how the stunning offerings would translate into your own home). Says owner David Keeler, “It’s quite possible that each time you visit, you’ll be treated to a new visual and design experience.” Find, currently, pieces by Studio Sturdy, Matthew McCormick and Brent Comber, enhanced by accents from internationally renowned designers like Ben and Aja Blanc, Arno Declercq, and Caroline Blackburn. Centre stage is the Provide Series, Provide’s in-house furniture line designed in collaboration with Lock and Mortice including a sofa, day bed, shelving unit and bed made from solid wood and characterized by clean lines, soft curves and asymmetrical elements.
As Keeler explains, “The success of the original furniture collaboration with Lock and Mortice in 2019 sparked the idea of a larger gallery space and highlighted the opportunity of showcasing strong local furniture designers alongside international talent. With the Provide Design Gallery, we’re building enhanced design conversations between the local and international worlds.” —Noa Nichol
