Canada’s leading specialty lighting and plumbing retailer comes to region with two beautifully renovated showrooms

From British Columbia to Ontario, the Robinson brand is synonymous with the best in both lighting and plumbing. Operating a network of 32 locations – including 11 full-service showrooms – the Canadian-owned company is now bringing its customer-focused and design-driven approach to the GTA with a pair of elegantly revamped showrooms.

After acquiring the former Sescolite Lighting locations in Toronto and Burlington four years ago, Robinson continues to build on Sescolite’s history of exceptional service to offer an enhanced customer experience and an unparalleled product portfolio. As the largest specialty lighting and bath retailer in Canada, the company boasts an impressive collection of curated products for the design-conscious consumer as well as a highly knowledgeable, professional staff.

It’s a collection that speaks for itself. Lighting by Moooi, Flos, Artemide, Marset and Vibia (to name a few) graces Robinson’s catalogue, along with an equally refined collection of international kitchen and bath brands – including Duravit, Grohe and Kohler. Spacious and pleasantly airy showrooms complement the product selection, making for an elevated retail experience that welcomes both designers and consumers.

In the GTA, the revamped Toronto and Burlington showrooms build on Secolite’s established presence as a leader in the lighting industry. By consolidating lighting and plumbing needs under one roof, Robinson offers a holistic – and time-saving – design approach that takes the whole home into account.

“Plumbing has been part of our offering across the country for over 50 years,” says Robinson’s VP of Marketing Mika Sanson, “and bringing that expertise to the GTA was part of the vision when we acquired Sescolite four years ago. We’ve hired some of the industry’s best in the area to ensure that we can offer the same level of expertise and support to our design customers on our plumbing and lighting products.”

Spanning from Vancouver to Toronto, the company’s highly developed network of showrooms allows products to be sourced quickly and dependably – thanks to Robinson’s dedication to working only with top suppliers.

It doesn’t end at the showroom. Robinson’s dynamic eCommerce website offers a comprehensive and convenient tool that fosters easier collaboration between designers and homeowners to work together on sourcing products. The end result? Beautiful homes across Canada – including the GTA.

The industrial designer and textile artist shares the inspirations that keep her loom whirring

In a seaside cottage in Shediac, New Brunswick, the soft hiss and swish of high-tide molds my mood like putty. Breathing in the deep calm—and the smell of last night’s seafood—my mind is miles away from my home in cosmopolitan Toronto. Here, craft feels as grounded as the clams they dig for each morning, and as I prepare for my call with textile artist Laura Carwardine, I can’t help but wonder *Carrie Bradshaw voice* what is the future of textile art in Toronto?
