Exclusive Protocol Gift Items for the Bureau de l'accueil et du protocole of the Ville de Montréal
Design Competition
Monsillage and m3béton
Winner
Monsillage is dedicated to the creation of original scents. m3béton designs products in concrete, transforming it into a noble material. Two women, Isabelle Michaud and Claudia Croteau. Two companies. Two art forms. One, evanescent, unforgettable, like the soul of a city; the other, solid, strong and durable, a foundation for dreaming big.
Montréal à vue de nez is a handcrafted candle nestled in a concrete “heart.” Its different scents draw inspiration from the city’s olfactory heritage, evoking its religious, maritime, horticultural or urban history. Three defining dates, engraved in concrete, a material emblematic of modern Montréal, anchor this object in our history.
