Last week I was in Victoria for a quick visit; the city is small, but it's where I grew up and also the home of Viberg Boot. Another small gem I came across was Still Design. The showroom is on the top floor of a tucked away apartment building and the owner has a fine selection of items up there. The furniture shop has also partnered with Four Horsemen, a local menswear shop, to offer a revolving selection of smaller items from the showroom and to help merchandise the store. The space includes a great variety of vintage chairs, tables, HBC wool blankets and some designs the owner has created himself. If you aren't in Victoria, some of the pieces are available online.

"Victoria is small"

Victoria also has much more to offer if you would open your eyes to whats going on. for two years you have lived in Vancouver "the big city" and it seems you have forgotten where you came from.. thank you for not helping the progression of your home city...

It looks a nice shop with some great pieces
On my site I have the same set of Borge Mogensen chairs as well as the Eames Rocker

Not sure what Iain has his knickers in a knot over...I think Victoria is a terrific small city and the fact that you've put the spotlight on Four Horsemen, Still Design and Viberg Boot (not only in Inventory, but also in the article you wrote for Monocle), demonstrates your connection with your home town. I appreciate some of your posts (and articles) that highlight other great shops, companies and products that are made and/or sold in other 'small cities'.

hey Iain! your comment doesn't really make sense and it makes you look ignorant and small minded.

Inventory has opened my eyes (and my wallet) to lots of great stuff.

Why not start your own blog iain and open our eyes to the things you love.

best wishes

Iain I would suggest reading past just the first line of the paragraph, might help to put the whole purpose of the post into perspective..

Thanks to Inventory for revealing the less obvious treasures that Victoria has to offer -to those who have yet to explore this vibrant city
