Exotically Unique
Inspired by the mysterious beauty of Marrakech, Le Comptoir d’ailleurs first opened its doors in the fall of 2006. Though simply put Le Comptoir d’ailleurs sells candles, there is so much more to this haunting gallery and boutique. It embodies the exotic heritage of both Marrakech and the Amira Bougies.
Paraffin Splendor
Moroccan artisans, the Amira Bougies create these photophores from only the finest paraffin. They are available in a range of 27 vibrant colours. Hand sculpted from paraffin wax, a fine sand coating prevents the lit tea light in the interior from melting the photophore itself. The photophores comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. They add exotic ambience to entranceways, sitting rooms and hallways. Sure to fuel conversation about your decor, the photophores of the Amira Bougies are both splendid and innovative at once.
Ambient Portal
Le Comptoir d’ailleurs finds itself in a perpetual state of darkness. Heavily draped windows created the effect of evening all day long. Stunning photophores make up the majority of the light in the boutique. The walls are reserved for showcasing local artists’ work, unifying foreign and local talent. Named Business of the Week by Creativity Montreal in October of 2006, Le Comptoir d’ailleurs is truly a portal into another world. Indeed, it is ideal for transforming your home or just escaping the bustle of the city streets without.
