Article source: v2com Artopex, one of Canada’s largest manufacturers of office furniture, is continuing its expansion with the official opening of a new showroom in Quebec City. Located on Saint-Joseph Street in the trendy neighbourhood of Saint-Roch, the new corporate space, showcasing the company’s full range of office products under one roof, is an important element in the development of the company, which aims to strengthen its well-established Quebec City market.

We are very pleased to provide them with a space to see, touch and try our products,” explains Daniel Pelletier, President of Artopex.

Artopex has four plants, including two in Granby – also home to the Head Office – one in Laval and another in Sherbrooke. A new showroom was recently inaugurated in Old Montreal and today, a new one in Quebec City opens its doors. Lemay was mandated with the development of the interior concept for both spaces, building on the ideas of history and territory, reflecting Artopex’s image and values as well as the company’s deep attachment to its roots. The Montreal space was awarded the Grand Prix “Showroom” at the 2015 Grand Prix du Design.

Quebec’s urban, industrial and natural landscapes translate Artopex’s commitment to the community and the environment, two values at the core of the company’s culture. The pixelated treatment of the background images creates a defocused effect that directs the eye toward the product, making an original contribution to its display.

Artopex’s products benefit from a variety of presentations, combined with lighting effects creating a diversity of contrasting ambiences. Platforms and podiums of varying heights allow for the appreciation of the product’s smallest details, bringing a dynamic energy to the circuit and contributing to an enhanced visitor experience.
