TUMI
Creating a space with modern elegance inside and out, the X-Design Inc. team refurbished this Toronto Landmark business preserving the feel but updating the new Toronto location to appeal to a younger audience. Outside, the exterior was refaced. A facade featuring limestone-like material, with illuminated recesses for the brushed aluminum signage, welcomes new and loyal customers.
TUMI, the world leader in suitcases and bags for travel, continues their world-wide expansion with their first flag-ship store in Canada. The Yorkdale location defines the company’s formal entry into the market echoing the interior design X-Design implemented in the Vancouver location.
X-Design Inc., through our ongoing support of the TUMI store design and construction team, was tagged to project manage and design this location. The results are a bright and colourful showcase of this terrific brand.
Inside, the new shelving allows the leather items to stand out while minimized window displays give a cleaner, more contemporary and inviting look. Warm woods throughout and plaster detailing along the length of the dropped drywall ceiling combine the stylish of-the-moment look and a classic feel. Built-in millwork was used for in-store displays, with interior shelves painted white to accentuate the leather items.
