6 of the Best Office Interiors in Montreal

Montreal is not just the second largest municipality in Canada—it's also the world's second largest primarily French-speaking city after Paris. Historically, the city is the commercial capital of Canada, surpassed only in the 1970s by Toronto, and it remains a significant financial, cultural and political centre. Given its financial status, and its predominantly French culture, it's little surprise that Montreal also sets a formidable benchmark for stylish, imaginatively designed offices for the many companies, Canadian and international, which are based there. Here are just 6 of the best office interiors in Montreal.
