How can an old family business nearly half-century old take a step back in age without compromising... it's future? Undoubtedly by continuing the tradition of its pleasant businesses under a similar pace but not very differently. In parallel and revival. By putting glamour in its life.
It is his very new Carrier & Co Inc company which plays this role. The fabrics and accessories of stuffing have just taken a step up. The top-of-the-range presents itself of rough silk woven to the hand to $350.00 the meter. But there are other fabrics quite as beautiful, some even very rare which are less expensive. The decorators will have the choice.
Importer and wholesaler, The Group Rémi Carrier Inc. is known to manufacturers of pieces of furniture since the origin of the company, in 1951. It is the work of an obstinate and ambitious man who initially installed his business in Quebec City, before opening branches everywhere in Quebec and in New-Brunswick. In 1968, the businessman repatriated his headquarter in Montreal.
The warehouse of the Ontario street abounds in fabric rollers, of accessories, foams, wire, vinyl, useful for the upholster.
The network of the purchasers is impressive: there are at least 3000 active upholsters through the country. Marketing is well made, effective, profitable and resists the attacks of an increasingly wild competition.
We push the gate and we are now in an elegant universe. For ten years, the youngest of the ten Carrier children, Rémi, wanted to turn things around, for adding exclusive fabrics from all around the world to Carrier & Co Inc., more fashion, more tendencies, refined or delicate, innovating or traditional, that it would have gone to choose himself. Finally! his dream took form.
With his wife Linda, professional decorator for ten years, he has conceived the idea of offering to the decorators what is done best, in a cordial and comfortable atmosphere. The samples are very large, the topics of colors and forms are present in an order easy to understand. The decorator can look at them, compare them, choose them and carry them to his customer for approval. Decorators and designer thus refine the service to their customers.
Curtains, chairs, armchairs, cushions, even the walls, all can be covered with the most elegant fabrics, with the shapes and colors that will not go out of fashion.
