John Paul Interiors, established in 2020 in Toronto’s trend-setting Yorkville neighbourhood, is a boutique interior furnishings showroom specializing in European luxury fashion houses.
Emily Peluso Lopes, the retailer’s CEO and part owner, said the brand’s mission is to help clients rediscover their interior spaces with an exclusive selection of designer furnishings, fabrics, and accessories.
“We focus on high-end luxury goods, mostly for the home, particularly Made in Italy. One of our biggest brands is Missoni Home, we have the largest assortment in North America for Missoni Home. That’s our core,” she said.
“We’re the official Toronto store for Assouline which is a luxury publisher. It’s a family business celebrating its 30th year anniversary but is partially owned by the LVMH Group (Louis Vuitton Group). A new brand for us which is just launching this month is Kartell Home. The brand is an Italian heritage-design focused brand from Italy, which is world renowned in the design community.
“We definitely tailor to interior design firms but also to the end user. We also carry other high end furniture from Italy, like family-owned brands that do customization. We also carry Versace Home.”
Lopes said the brand might be opening a pop-up location for the holiday season but the location has not yet been released.
Its current store location is in a high traffic area in Yorkville.
“We’re in a great location walking distance to Bloor St, ( Mink Mile) where all the high end luxury fashion brands have their flagship stores,” she said.
On its website, the retailer says: “We proudly offer the latest home furnishings from renowned European brands, imported directly from Italy, and inspired by the fashion runways of Paris and Milan.
