Stunning new Toronto store sells affordable and apartment-friendly furniture

Must is the accessible, apartment-friendly brand from Montreal-based luxury furniture brand, Maison Corbeil and Home Societe.

(Until July 1, you can use the code BLOGTO for 20% off your order online and in-store.)

Co-existing in an enormous retail space on Parliament with parent collective, Home Societe (Maison Corbeil, Jardin de Ville, Must and more), Must is much more than your typical furniture store.

As you ascend the escalator, you're greeted by an expanse of hand-curated furniture from Maison Corbeil's small-but-mighty collection of producers.

Corbeil works, primarily, with producers based in Asia, Canada and France, but the majority of Must's collection comes from Asian producers to offer lower prices for the brand's younger, apartment-dwelling clientele.

With that said, Must also offers extensive customization options on a selection of their Canadian-made pieces, which allows for a quicker turnaround on customized items while giving you the option of supporting local vendors.

The Parliament St. store is also home to Prune Les Fleurs, a fresh flower shop, and will be opening a cafe in partnership with Circles and Squares.

Take a look at a selection of offerings in our video shot live at the store this week.

Until July 1, you can use the code BLOGTO for 20% off regular-priced items in-store and online.

must torontoSales Manager at the Parliament store, Christian Moncrieffe, tells blogTO he doesn't like to show customers the Munich Sectional (up to $4183) first, because it's so comfortable that, after sitting in it, nothing else will compare.

Connected to the Must store at Parliament and Richmond is Home Societe, which carries higher-end furniture and decor from brands like Maison Corbeil, Jardin de Ville and Ligne Roset for those with a larger space (and budget.)
