Montreal designer Tony Lemoignan has built everything from cafés to barbershops to boxing gyms — but what sets his work in the commercial and hospitality sectors apart is the way it often counters the expected tropes of each typology. He has coined this as his “provocative edge.” Yet his interiors aren’t about theatrics — they are shaped through the rich interplay of
light, texture, sound and even scent to create a strong sense of atmosphere. Take REBL, for instance, a boxing and weightlifting club in Griffintown that pairs dark and pale blues with rich burgundy; or Salon Volta in Laval, a barbershop reminiscent of Batman’s lair. Against a backdrop of slate-grey lime-washed walls and matte epoxy flooring, pops of stainless steel and deep black set a moody vibe. Custom-fabricated by a local woodworker and bathed in an unexpected butter yellow, the chunky mirror frames become part of the architecture, anchoring each station within the open-concept space. By Lemoignan resists the idea of a signature style.
