Modern Interpretation of East Coast Design
Informed by Nova Scotia’s unique environmental and cultural landscapes, local historical design movements and traditional craft techniques, Muir’s collection of bespoke furnishings designed by Alessandro Munge and crafted in Canada, evokes a deep and meaningful sense of place, embodying the intricate relationship between past and future, between ocean and land. Subtly honouring Canadian design and manufacturing expertise, the collection marries materiality and artisanship with the grounding authenticity behind Muir’s “Born of this Place” narrative.
Here are just a few of the pieces available in the Muir Collection by Studio Munge. Please inquire at the Front Desk for information on additional pieces available and purchasing details. Please note, pricing is subject to change.

THE BEACON
On Canada’s East Coast, generations of seafarers have counted on lighthouses as beacons that provide direction or guidance.
In 2022, a major art installation will be added to Rise Again Square, called Tidal Beacon. Envisioned as the most significant new piece of public art in the province, Tidal Beacon by Ned Kahn, has been commissioned to be a dramatic, interactive light display activated by its natural surroundings and by each visitor to the space. The iconic art installation will rise 40 feet above Rise Again and overlook the Halifax Waterfront. It will stand as a symbol of interplay between nature and innovation, and will be recognized as a new, larger-than-life destination at this historic harbour.
