The vendor's own made-in-Montreal page says all upholstered products (sofas, sectionals, loveseats, daybeds, chairs, and sleepers) are handmade at their Montreal factory, and this upholstered line is the larger, most heavily marketed part of the catalogue. The designer series page adds about a dozen international and domestic brands of lighting, furniture, and accessories, several with recognizably European names (Finn Juhl, Rimadesio, Salvatori, Tacchini, Valcucine), that the site frames as expanding beyond the exclusive upholstered collections. No revenue split or per-brand country of manufacture is published, so the designer-series share is a rough estimate by product-line count and its country breakdown could not be verified brand by brand.

The cities page lists company showrooms in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary plus New York and Chicago, and the Montreal factory is the site of manufacturing and presumably the largest concentration of staff. No headcount by location is published, so the split is estimated from the four-to-two split of showroom cities and the presence of the factory in Montreal; LinkedIn could not be checked to confirm employee distribution.

The FAQ page names Kravet and Robert Allen, both US textile houses, as sources of treated base fabrics, which points to significant US fabric input. Frames use kiln-dried maple hardwood and coils are 8-way hand-tied like a mattress; the FAQ does not say where the lumber, springs, latex foam, or goose down are sourced. The mix is an estimate built from the one named input category; wood, foam, and down origins could not be verified.
