Purveyor of locally created, reclaimed and repurposed home decor.
About Us
What We Do
Steph is an up-cycler and thrifty decorator by nature, transforming others' discarded items and materials into unique home decor items. In her home workshop, she and her son began creating everything from shelving, furniture, charcuterie boards and home accents, from salvaged building materials and household items. Wanting to open a shop to showcase their work Artisan Collective was born and is a purveyor of curated home decor products created by over 30 local artists and artisans, 75% of whom are women. Buying and supporting local builds community, and has become increasingly important in our current environment. By shopping with us, you leave with a treasure that has a story!
At Artisan Collective you will find local home decor in the form of reclaimed and vintage furniture, lighting, art, glass, wood, ceramics, soft goods, candles and so much more!
Oh, and we have a porch on which to perch with a coffee or a neighbours beer while you ponder your purchase!
Where We Are
Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Lower Lonsdale in North Vancouver, BC, you can walk Lolo Lane with a donut from our neighbours, sit on our front porch to nibble, browse through our shop of diverse, unique and functional local home decor offerings, then leave your purchase with us for wrapping while you pop next door for a beer with our other neighbour. How else would you want to spend your day?
From East 1st or Esplanade, walk up or down the mid-block stairs and head towards Lonsdale, we are between Cream Pony and Streetcar Brewing.
Featured Artisan - Forest Floor Creations
Forest Floor is an environmentally conscious small batch, one off maker of handcrafted wood pieces for home design and decor. Its creator is a 25 year employee of the forest industry on the westcoast and witnessing the unintentional waste from some of the operations he visited, spurred him on to find a better use for as much of the wood as possible. Every piece that is used to create is a by-product that the forest industry has no use for or there is no home for it. All wood is either salvaged from old sawmill sites, found at processing facilities or reclaimed from the forest floor. The owner, Andrew, is self taught and is still learning. His work showcases the uniqueness of each piece. " I don't do perfection, I do unique."
