Be The Style Guys, we not only focus on fashion and style, but also home decor. Aly, being a designer (Alykhan Velji Designs) is launching an exciting new venture called CURATE here in Calgary. The concept is basically a store within a store. CURATE has taken over a part of KIYA Home, that has recently opened in Deerfoot Meadows. He has handpicked some of his favourite artists and designers to be showcased in his first ever collection called Made in Canada. Each piece is hand made, designed, or developed in Canada. His goal was to bring high quality, beautifully designed pieces so that everyone has access to them, not just designers.
Aly has also collaborated with a local concrete artist, Mtharu in designing 3 gorgeous pieces for the home including a set of coasters, candle holders and votive holders. (These you will just have to go to KIYA Home and check it out!)
Here are a few of the great pieces that you will see:
Carl and Rose, hand made clock
Design Lump, charcuterie board with porcelain cup
Lint and Honey, decorative pillows
Northern Rusic, print
Rekindle hand turned plates
Zoe Pawlak, chalk drawing
BanoeeMee, leather bowties
Andronyk, rings
