Pimlico Design Gallery- Gift Heaven!

After going to the gallery opening of Aleksandar Antonijevic’c amazing nearly sold out photographic exhibition last week at Pimlico Design Gallery, I drove past the gallery and stopped the car. I noticed very colourful and interesting objects in the window. I was intrigued.

I walked in and was greeted by the gallery owner, Tanya Velasevic. Now I understand why it I called a ‘design’ gallery. The space was filled with the most interesting functional art pieces that one can use for everyday life. For example, glass oil and vinegar bottles, hand blown by French/Canadian artist, Julien Mongeau, hand made mortar and pestle in many shapes, colours and configurations, by a local artist, Tahir Mahmood and salad tongs made in the shape of two swimmers for the handles by french, Pylones! There are hand painted tea towels, serving trays, amazing steel furnishings designed by the upcoming local artist, Pierre Pousin. These are only a few of the exceptionally unique pieces that are available.

Velasevic explained she is only interested in finding unique products that are made by the artists, both Canadian and now international talent. “You want something fun and unique, you will find it here. I have a constant flow of new designers that makes a good reason to return to the gallery regularly”.

This gallery is a great destination for seasonal and house warming gifts, and I want to share this with all of you. The gallery is warm and inviting without any pretense of an art gallery. You are met with friendly arms with wonderful gift ideas.

Velasevic also has a catalogue of other great photographic works by Antonijevic including landscapes and human interest portraits available.

As the holiday season is just around the corner, make this your destination for those interesting and original gifts ideas for your colleagues, friends and family.

The address of the gallery is 789 Dupont Street, Toronto, Ontario. Ph.416 538 0909
