By Lemoignan Revamps REBL Club Lobby in Montreal with Quirky Design
Montreal's REBL Club, a boxing studio in Griffintown, refreshed its five-year-old lobby with a design by local firm By Lemoignan. The 146-year-old red-brick building, a converted jute mill, inspired a rugged aesthetic with spruce plywood lockers. Founder Tony Lemoignan introduced a café counter to encourage socializing, minimized the reception desk to blur employee-client lines, and used a palette of dark and pale blue tiles contrasting with burgundy shelving. Details include a punching bag wrapped in reflective vinyl, hexagonal burgundy light fixtures with knotted cables, and a large light panel behind the desk. A sliding takeout window lets passersby order coffee by ringing a boxing bell on the facade.
