Design Montréal
Open House

2008 Edition

Over 11,000 visits were recorded during this impressive celebration of design, as the public had occasion to visit, free of charge, more than 70 Montréal agencies, projects and sites devoted to design.

On Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4, Montréal design offices that have won distinctions in national and international competitions in 2006 and 2007 opened their doors to present the work that earned them these prestige awards. The designers of Montréal-based projects were on hand to talk about their creations and answer visitors’ questions.
