F&Y, a design studio based in Montreal, creates this collection of solid-brass barware called Barchitecture. The pieces are a beautiful combination of function and style. Each piece is hand-polished in their workshop and finished with natural bee wax. 

We love this bottle opener and coaster set.

5. Surfaces & Co.

Although Surfaces & Co. sources luxury tiles, rather than makes them, they are a company doing something no other in Canada is in the same way. The combination of materials and designs (which are out of this world) are completely customizable. In-house designers will help make your vision come to life.

We love the Canadian brass-infused Odyssée collection.
