the transformation of our showroom / part 1





[a change of season]
Fall and winter are a time for reflection, comfort and warmth. A time where we spend more of our day indoors – cuddled up in cozy blankets, enjoying the heat of a blazing fire, and entertaining loved ones.

Here at Condobox, the change of season also signifies the transformation of our showroom. Twice a year our 600sq foot model suit is remodeled to demonstrate what one of our Condbox Packages could look like, to illustrate current design trends and to showcase some of our best selling pieces.



[the inspiration]
homey / simple / sustainable products / calming / relaxing / back to our roots

Back in August, Joanna Kakkavas, the principal and founder of Condobox, was inspired by the rustic industrial trend with a soft and feminine feel that was featured at the New York Gift show. This fall and winter our showroom will reflect this trend. We want to create a space that evokes and cultivates feelings of calm, warmth and simplicity.

Inspiration can also be found when you least expect it - and as we were discussing the remodeling of our space, the cover of a Benjamin Moore paint catalogue with a peacock feather on it caught our attention. The rich and vibrant indigo's and blues of the feather in combination with earthy olive and taupe tones transposed themselves into our colour palette.


With a colour palette to guide us, our next steps are to choose fabrics, furniture and décor that both relate to this palette as well as cultivate the emotional response we are striving for within our space.


The evolution of our showroom will be documented on our blog.

I invite you
to visit our blog regularly and track the progress of our model suite. To gain an insiders perspective of how a condominium is both designed and furnished and a glimpse into the world of interior design here, at Condobox.
