MONTREAL — La Maison Lavande, a retailer known for its lavender-infused self-care products and tranquil farmstead in Saint-Eustache, chose the heart of Montreal for its first store front boutique.

Lemay created the interior design of this minimalist 500-square-foot retail space that is grounded in natural elements and contemporary functionality to serve in-store and online customers.

Taking cues from the brand’s namesake crop, the boutique channels the calming essence of lavender fields into its enduring yet modern design. White oak shelving, soft cream and lavender hues, and lavender-flecked terrazzo podiums recall the brand’s minimalistic aesthetic. The space’s light, rounded forms and cove lighting mimic natural light.

“We wanted to create a boutique that would be both a sensory extension of the La Maison Lavande estate, inspiring well-being and calm through intentional materiality and forms, and a thoughtful boutique offering a personal experience both in-store and online,” said Hani Diab, design director at Lemay.

A hidden workstation and discreet storage maximize a compact footprint, combining seamless e-commerce operations and in-person customer experiences for everything from everyday retail, to events and activations.
