Montreal shop notes: Magasin Général Bruxe
Skaters–turned–design aficionados Oli and Mer Van Roost, who are also twin brothers, bring their laid-back street sensibility to their store, Magasin Général Bruxe (5662 Sherbrooke St. W., 514-932-9802, bruxedesign.com). The boutique, in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce (a quiet ’hood slowly rising in its hip factor), features a mix of urban clothes, their popular Bruxe bags and their new line of handmade pendants, Tiny Little Chairs (from $90). The mini collection pays homage to mid-century modern designs, such as the silver Zig Zag chair (shown, $95) by Dutch architect Gerrit T. Rietveld, the Nelson bench and the Eames lounger-plus-ottoman.
