Shopping
Walrus
February 18, 2009
Eye-catching modern design minus the severe angles and intimidation factor. This is no sterile, you-break-it-you-buy-it boutique; owners Caroline Boquist and Daniel Kozlowski (both formerly of Inform Interiors) encourage customers to pick up, flip over, try on, and test out their products. The Walrus’s retail philosophy is based on the interactive atmosphere of small European shops, where items aren’t just purchased, they’re adopted. In addition to art and design pieces for the home, there’s jewellery from Broken English, Swiss Velo-re belts (handmade from recycled bike tires), and whimsical ceramics inspired by take-out containers from NY designer Lorena Barrezueta.
