STORY BEHIND THE PROJECT

Aiming to create a tale where time stops and magic happens David Charette, founder andprincipal of Britto Charette partner up with CIRCU Magical Furniture in the  creation of a placethat unlocks kids’ imagination and encourages children to dream and write their own fairytalesof adventure.

As an avid traveler, David Charette believes that traveling can serve as a great inspiration foreveryone, especially children. He used CIRCU’s products , as well as pieces from the Covet House brand and some of his favorite vendors, to create luxury kids room designs that embody theglamour, magic, and sense of wonder that comprise the travel experience.

THE SLEEPING AREA

This timeless tale starts in a residence in theheart of Montreal, a place where winters arelong and cold and daylight hours are few. Wanting to create a space that would be warmand bright all year round, David Charrettecreated this enchanted project where “lightand bright” was central to the overall design. This tale starts with the de Gournay hand-painted wall covering in a fresh mint colorand accented with flying butterflies perfectlycomplements the butterfly shapes of the KOKET Nymph Wall Lamp
and the soft curvesand organic shapes of CIRCU Tristen Bed.David Charette loves the Tristen Bed, not onlybecause of its youthful vibe but also for the “ergonomics of the piece and the fact that it’seasy for children to climb in and out of."

THE PLAY AND STUDY AREA

Where new discoveries are made
As a lover of adventure and travel, David Charette wanted to create a special place with an Out ofAfrica Vibe that will stir a child’s imagination and encourage lifelong travels and adventures. Since camping was a big part of the designer’s childhood he wanted to convey its happy memories byincorporating the Teepee Tent that will allow children to feel like they are camping in the middle ofan enchanted forest, without leaving the comfort of their room. This nature-inspired theme iscomplemented by Fornasetti wall covering from Cole & Son and Filigree Cricket Wall Lamp, cleverinsect-shaped wall sconces by Boca do Lobo.
