Ben & Tournesol

“I know my clientele well enough to know what they will and will not like,” says John Benoit. “Instinct and intuition play their part, but I know the people who come here trust us to have the right gift on hand, or a decorative accessory that will express their personality. Finding those gems, those objects that will draw the eye and elicit interest is something I do very well.”

This entrepreneur made decorative accessories and gifts his specialty at Ben & Tournesol. “For a wedding gift, for a congratulation present for new parents, for a special attention for mother, or even corporate gifts, I think we’re pretty much the reference in Westmount,” says John.

Ben & Tournesol is bursting with kitchen and service and decorative accessories for the entire home, from the kitchen table to the bedroom and of course the living room. For a formal table setting or a quality corporate gift to offer one’s clients, John and the team scour the world to bring the best in every category — with every budget in mind. “We want to stock something for everybody. We have picture frames that can range from $10 to $1,000, and every price point in between,” he says. The store also seeks to present a mix of classics from renowned brands as well as more avant-garde design objects.

Ben & Tournesol also stocks a complete selection of design books, as well as men’s and women’s clothing.
