Born from the idea of three friends who wanted to rethink the Quebec furniture industry, La Fabrique Allwood designs and builds solid wood and steel furniture with a focus on craftsmanship and sustainability. For over ten years, the company has been committed to creating pieces that combine traditional know-how, timeless design, and environmental responsibility.
Eco-responsibility at the core
La Fabrique Allwood integrates sustainable practices at every stage of its production process. The company has developed a zero-waste system that allows it to recycle more than 500 tons of raw materials annually. It also repurposes urban ash trees felled due to the emerald ash borer, giving them a second life as locally made design furniture. This commitment has earned the company several awards, including a Platinum Winner and the People’s Choice Award at the Grand Prix du Design 2024.
Furniture for residential and commercial projects
Every piece is handcrafted in the company’s Montreal workshop. La Fabrique Allwood offers two distinct services:
– custom furniture, allowing for the design of one-of-a-kind pieces such as dining tables, bookshelves, kitchen counters, and more.
– an online collection of timeless furniture, with customizable options to suit each customer’s space and style.
From unique pieces to large-scale projects
La Fabrique Allwood works with both individuals and professionals to bring a wide range of projects to life, from custom pieces to full residential or commercial fit-outs. Past projects include the transformation of Shopify’s former offices in Montreal and the furnishing of trendy downtown restaurants. The team understands the challenges of complex projects and adapts to constraints related to timelines, budgets, and design.
By combining craftsmanship, sustainable design, and a strong local commitment, La Fabrique Allwood offers an ethical and inspiring alternative for rethinking furniture in Quebec.
