In 1995, Diana and Thomas, founders of SBO Distributors Ltd. (SWISSBO), embarked on a journey to make beautifully designed and produced home décor, gifts and accessories available to Canadians.
The next chapter of Diana and Thomas’ story unfolds with STORIES by SWISSBO, a brand-new lifestyle boutique located in the Shipyards District of North Vancouver.
Designed by Dallas Matson’s team of craftsman from Uppercase Design, the shop offers unique and sustainable products in a space boasting solid oak, arched rafters and Vancouver’s own Bocci lighting.
