Mississauga, ON CA · gusmodern.com

Gus* Modern is a Mississauga, Ontario furniture company, legally Gus* Design Group Inc., selling modern sofas, sectionals, and case goods through its own site and independent dealers. Upholstered seating is understood to be made in Canada while case goods such as dressers and tables are believed to be manufactured overseas, though the vendor's own site and product pages do not disclose manufacturing locations. Corporations Canada's federal registry has no record under this name, so ownership rests on the company's own Canadian registration rather than a registry filing.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

Gus* Modern's own contact and privacy pages name the operating entity as Gus* Design Group Inc., registered at 6520 Viscount Road, Mississauga, Ontario, with no foreign parent, investor, or acquisition disclosed anywhere on the site. Corporations Canada's federal registry returned zero results for the name, so it is likely incorporated provincially in Ontario; the Ontario Business Registry requires an account and could not be checked, and Quebec's REQ does not apply here. The CANADA List directory independently lists Gus Modern's ownership country as Canada, corroborating a wholly Canadian-owned company.

Manufacturing

Neither Gus* Modern's About Us, FAQ, and shipping pages nor the individual product pages checked (the Silverlake sectional and the Munro dresser) state where items are manufactured. The CANADA List directory describes the furniture as designed and manufactured in Canada with some international sourcing of materials, but the catalogue splits roughly evenly between upholstered seating (sofas, sectionals, chairs, about 8 of the site's collections) and wood case goods (dressers, tables, shelving, desks, about 13 collections), the latter more commonly imported for Canadian furniture brands; with no revenue breakdown published, the mix is estimated from that category split, weighting case goods to OTHER rather than a named country.

Gus* Modern's contact page lists its head office at 6520 Viscount Road, Mississauga, Ontario, and its careers page describes a sales role based at the company's Toronto corporate office, consistent with a single Canadian headquarters in the Greater Toronto Area. The same contact page also lists a European office in Almelo and a showroom in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, serving EU sales; with no employee count published, a minority share is allocated to the Netherlands office.

Inputs

CA 20% · other 80%

Product pages describe kiln-dried FSC-certified hardwood frames, oak or walnut veneer, powder-coated steel legs, and a synthetic-down cushion fill made from recycled plastic bottles, but none name a country of origin for any material. Since case goods are believed to be manufactured overseas and even Canadian-assembled upholstery typically depends on imported foam, steel hardware, and fabric, most material inputs are placed in OTHER; a smaller Canadian share reflects FSC-certified lumber that can be sourced regionally.
