Founded in 2018 by interior designers Laurence Ouimet-Vives and Lysanne St-Laurent, the Canadian studio Vives St-Laurent has emerged as one of the most serene and perceptive voices in contemporary interior design. Based in Montreal, their practice is rooted in a profound understanding of space as an emotional refuge—places where light, matter and scale converse in equilibrium.

Far removed from superfluous ornamentation, their interiors breathe a quiet elegance. Noble, honest materials—warm woods, matte stone, natural fabrics—are revealed as the true protagonists of a sensory narrative that privileges the essential.

Both trained in interior design in Montreal, Laurence Ouimet-Vives and Lysanne St-Laurent share an aesthetic affinity for functional architecture, purity of line, and an emotional approach to the experience of inhabiting space. Their visual language—serene but never cold—resonates deeply with a generation seeking to reconnect with what is essential: silence, light, minimalist beauty.

The studio has developed private residences, boutiques and commercial spaces, all tied together by a common thread: an almost ritual attention to detail and a chromatic palette that favours soft tones, off-whites, mineral greys, and hues drawn from the Canadian landscape. Vives St-Laurent composes atmospheres that invite contemplation, physical and emotional well-being, and a quiet sense of luxury.
