What Ste. Marie Art + Design Ltd does

Ste. Marie Art + Design Ltd (operating as Ste Marie Studio) is a privately held, full-service commercial interior design studio founded in 2010 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, with a second office in Toronto. The firm delivers concept-to-completion interior design services spanning hospitality (hotels, restaurants, cocktail lounges), residential (luxury towers, presentation centres), and commercial (retail, fitness, workplace amenity) sectors across Canada and the United States. Its service stack covers concept direction, interior design, custom furniture and lighting design, art curation, styling, and FF&E procurement, delivered as project-based professional services to enterprise clients including Rosewood Hotels, Fairmont, Onni Group, Hai Hospitality, Sweat & Tonic, Monos, and Corso 32 Group.

The core offering is human creative labor augmented by an established methodology that the firm describes as combining instinct with metrics, research, and strategy to produce immersive, emotionally driven spatial experiences. There is no proprietary technology platform; the underlying delivery model relies on senior design talent, a portfolio-driven referral channel, and a strategic FF&E procurement partnership with Ensemble that bundles design and purchasing into a single client engagement. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via relationships, press-driven reputation, and referrals rather than intermediaries, with marketing centered on a web portfolio, Instagram, LinkedIn, and coverage in design publications such as Wallpaper*, Dezeen, and the New York Times. Revenue is generated through negotiated project fees tied to scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing or financial metrics.
