Painted plates

Not only is Mississauga-native Jacqueline Poirier well-known in the underground art scene, participating in live painting competitions, but she’s also the resident artist for the Ritz Carlton in Toronto. It’s no wonder: her urban-chic decorative plates are a mix of Canadiana — check out the hockey player and Toronto streetcar plates — and cool eclectic pop art.

$100, Jacqueline Poirier.

Designer Nicole Tarasick made a name for herself with her creation of simple handmade throw pillows, with a particular emphasis on Canadian-themed graphics. Now she’s expanded her collection to include tote bags featuring the same smart designs.

Sleek and simple

For over 10 years, Montreal-native Louise Bousquet has expertly crafted porcelain tableware and charming ceramic objects. The simple white look of her collection is elegant yet understated, and ranges from everyday tableware items to niche party accessories. We love this cone and goblet on a wood stand perfect for entertaining.

$130, Porcelaines Bousquet.
