CELEBRATING 15
WE CATCH UP WITH 2009 COVER
CELEBRITY BRIAN GLUCKSTEIN
LOOKING BACK AT THE
LAST 15 YEARS Biggest
accomplishment: 15 years
ago we launched Gluckstein
Home which has since
become an established
Canadian brand that I am
very proud of. Of course,
our design studio has also
grown and become more
established over that time
as well. I also published my
first design book in October
of 2018 which is something
that had been on my bucket
list.
THE NEXT 15 YEARS
I’d love a 15 year supply of
books, especially
biographies and design
books, and white
supermarket birthday cake
with plenty of icing flowers!
I HOPE TO continue
growing and improving
the Gluckstein Home
collections, adding more
healthy and organic options,
and focusing on the best
products and the best
quality at the best price
for Canadians. I am also
in the process of updating
my own home, starting with
my kitchen which is getting
an update with a bit of an
industrial feel to it.
I’D BRING BACK using
antiques in our homes.
Design has become much
more generic over the
years. Vintage pieces
and unique artwork make
a home feel much more
personal and soulful. I
love that homeowners
are starting to bring back
curated vintage pieces into
their homes.
MY FAVORITE VINTAGE
PIECE I have an early
1800s French desk in
my upper library that was
given to my father by my
godfather and then passed
down to me as a house
warming gift many years
ago. Now that my father
has passed, this piece
carries many memories for
me.
FAVORITE GLUCKSTEIN
HOME PRODUCT I love
all of it and I use all of
it; towels, dishes, robes,
sheets, etc. If we carry it, I
have it in my home.
