With Atelier C3 Design, a new wind is blowing through interior design

Atelier C3 Design is not a classic interior design studio, it revisits its universe and the interiors of its clients, putting art at the service of the human. This approach has made the studio famous, which now collaborates with major brands.

What was once a crazy dream of an impulsive and ambitious student became, in just a few years, one of the spearheads of the renewal of Quebec interior design. Indeed, at only 19 years old and still studying, Matthieu Boulianne decided to take his independence and assume his already well-established approach to interior design. “I went on instinct. Youth means that sometimes we move forward without thinking, without being aware of many elements, but this was one of the most important decisions in my life,” says the founder of Atelier C3 Design 10 years later.

From the beginning, the studio has distinguished itself with its innovative offer, including renovation packages, furniture and decoration per room, which make the process more transparent and affordable for customers. But what has most characterized the agency for a decade is its approach to design which, for Matthieu, “is a way of expressing an art at the service of humans and their environment”. By putting art at the heart of its creative process, the Quebec interior design studio has grown in a rational way, with a team of talented designers and a collaborative approach, and now reaches heights alongside major brands.

Outstanding collaborations

For the past few years, Atelier C3 Design has been distinguished by artistic collaborations that have strengthened its influence in Quebec and beyond. ”In our studio, we have mastered custom design and furniture services, and we realized that some common problems on the market could not be answered. So we created products with innovative aesthetics and features, to distribute them on a larger scale,” says Matthieu. Thus, the teams of Atelier C3 Design let their creativity speak and, in collaboration with selected brands, these creations come to life.

Among its most notable partnerships is Sherwin Williams, a global paint giant. Together, they designed a new color palette, born of a specific need not met in existing offerings. These innovative creations will be showcased in an exhibition planned for February, where local artists will present their works created from these new shades. In order to transform this event into a real immersive experience, an artist will even create a work on site, a way of immersing the public in a collaborative artistic universe. The studio also partners with Quebec companies to develop exclusive products, such as a wallpaper collection in partnership with a local manufacturer and, internationally, the workshop collaborates with LX Hausys, a brand of the LG group, to help them develop their offer. “These collaborations allow us to stay connected to market changes and new trends,” notes the designer. By combining innovation and creativity, the company manages to combine its artistic vision with the practical needs of its partners. design Atelier C3 design

Reinventing interior spaces

If collaborations punctuate the daily life of the studio, it does not forget its first loves. Specialized in residential design, Atelier C3 Design intervenes on renovation projects, new construction and custom fit-out with services that go far beyond simple decoration, encompassing the overall design of a space, its design and monitoring of the work. ” We will listen to our customers to understand their lifestyle, tastes, desires and needs to create a suitable project. We rely on the strength of our team of designers to take the project into a new dimension,” says Matthieu. This also includes the creation of custom furniture, a service that has become essential for the company. Whether it is kitchen or bathroom furniture, but also any other room, the studio designs it entirely custom and surrounds itself with local craftsmen to make a unique piece of furniture that carries meaning.

With a collaborative approach, attention to detail and commitment to innovation, Atelier C3 Design is the new face of Quebec interior design. And this is only the beginning, since the studio already aims to realize new collaborations with renowned brands and even new artistic projects with the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.
