True to its name, smallmediumlarge has scaled up quickly. Co-founders Sharlene Dupont-Morin and Juliette Mondoux, who launched their Montreal studio in 2023, had grand ambitions from the get-go: to tackle everything from products (small) to installations (medium) and interiors (large). So far, their furniture and accessories, displaying a winning blend of rigour and charm, have had the most impact: At their 2024 Interior Design Show (IDS) debut, a mirrored shelf presented an optical illusion, making the lower half of books appear to vanish into another dimension, while a side table, Spag, rested a glass circle atop a tubular metal base that resembled a zigzagging noodle.
After showing at ICFF in New York and SaloneSatellite in Milan, the duo returned to IDS Toronto in 2026 to take part in Ourse’s launch with pieces including a trio of adorable stools (Soufflé) — one fully upholstered, one with spider-like legs and one with a solid wood pedestal base. Building on that momentum, the studio’s latest collection, The Dressing Room (unveiled in May during NYCxDesign at Afternoon Light) is perhaps its most confident yet, with a series of brutalist wooden side tables accented by graphic bolts that recall a pin-filled sewing cushion. The founders of smallmediumlarge describe it as being “driven by curiosity and shapes that matter” — and right now, we can’t stress the value of those shapes enough.
