SSENSE Home Decor Brands That Will Reinvigorate your Space

Turns out Canada’s prized fashion retailer has home style covered too

How often do you look for home decor on SSENSE? It’s no secret that the famous Montreal-based retailer has made a huge impact on Canadian consumers, introducing them to local and international luxury fashion brands they might not have otherwise known. The same holds true for home decor—SSENSE has curated an impressive selection of artisans from around the world, each redefining interior design. While fashion houses continue to shape contemporary trends, how much crossover exists between fashion and home decor?

We explored the shop’s home collection and rounded up seven standout brands that can bring fresh energy to your space.

Curves by Sean Brown 

Toronto-based multidisciplinary designer Sean Brown, has always expressed his affinity for musicality and nostalgia through the lens of Curves. The handmade CD-shaped rugs and ornate decorative pieces like the ceramic purse and mirrored coasters, provide practicality while maintaining an air of whimsy. These pieces will definitely satiate your inner rockstar. 

Vitra Home 

Ever walk into a museum and envy the pieces on display—perhaps wanting one of your own? Grounded in sustainable mid-century design, Vitra invites the pretty and peculiar to challenge conventional sensibility. This family-run business prides itself on finding the balance between trends and timeless artistry while continuing to create a circular manufacturing system with up-cycled materials.

Helle Mardahl

They say sweet dreams are made of these gorgeous confectionery-style glassware from Helle Mardahl. Designed and handcrafted in small batches, this collection of vases, coups and plating add a burst of colour to any space. Both simple and maximal, these pieces are undeniable conversation starters.

Ferm Living

At the heart of Ferm lives comfort and class. Working with international artisans, each piece is handmade to reflect a sense of tranquility without being too subdued. If the goal is to add a statement piece with neutral tones, Ferm offers everything from standout dining tables to chic vessels, glassware and more. 

Mush Studios   

New on the scene, this Brooklyn-based, queer-owned brand has made a splash with their surrealist and otherworldly carpets. The rugs utilize a variety of textures and shapes to create complex dimensions that intend to awaken the senses. MUSH continues to push the envelope and—since joining the list of SSENSE home decor brands—has expanded their collection to include throw pillows and bathmats. 

Corsi Design

Corsi Design has a flair for the dramatics – there is nothing understated about this Italian-made brand. Each resin vase is bold and yet completely unique to the next. The diverse colour combinations and distorted shapes are an outward projection of the mind’s capacity for abstract design. There’s no doubt a vase from Corsi would draw lots of attention from interior design fanatics. 

Nordic Knots  

If there was any indication that Scandinavian design is here for good, Nordic Knots would be leading the charge. This Sweden-based rug company boasts high-quality sensibility in each of its ultra-modern and minimalist designs. With frequent collaborations weaving in the likes of Campbell Rey and Studio Giancarlo Valle—this home decor brand is not one to miss.
