About Us

Parallax Atelier is a creative partnership between two interior designers, Divia and Nina who met at the Art Gallery of Ontario, while volunteering at their children's school field trip.

“We immediately connected through our mutual love of design and discovered
our shared dream of becoming entrepreneurs and creating a design
collection. With this joint venture, our intention is to sift through
the abundant decor products available and curate a collection of our
favorite pieces. We intend to bring brands to the public that may only
be known in the design community and make them more accessible. In
addition, we will be designing and fabricating our own custom pieces.

Our mission is to align our personal design visions with our passion for
interiors to curate a unique, timeless and sophisticated collection.“
