Capiz Mirror

Renwil started in Montreal in 1967 as a small studio founded by Leo Rennert, with a simple idea: bring the feeling of an art gallery into everyday homes. More than half a century later, that idea still drives the company.

Renwil works with a group of in-house artists who interpret ideas from around the world into lighting, mirrors, wall décor and rugs. The catalogue includes lamps, mirrors and rugs, with collections ranging from the sculptural, mid-century inspired Nola and Vernet series to the more industrial Hutch and Harlow. Materials are mixed freely: hand-applied gold leaf, blackened steel, white marble and specialty glass, often within a single collection. Artisanal finishing gives each piece depth and individuality, so a Renwil lamp or mirror feels chosen rather than bought off a shelf. For a Montreal company with its roots in art, that is exactly the point.
