The Urban Settler was founded in North Vancouver British Columbia in 1998 by owner Paul Arcoite. The company specialized in sourcing & restoring antique furniture, and the designing & manufacturing of reclaimed wood furniture & feature walls. In addition to local custom work, the company supplied retailers, architects, and designers across western Canada, and became well known for its work in restaurant and hospitality décor.
In 2012 The Urban Settler opened a furnishings & interior design store in Fernie British Columbia. The company permanently moved its operations to Fernie in 2015, making its home the historic Livery Building in downtown Fernie.
The company now specializes in residential interior
décor, design, and furnishings.
OUR MISSION
"To go above and beyond, helping our clients create home interiors that are well adapted to the values of modern mountain living: "In the mountains, we embrace hard work, balanced with outdoor recreation, casual living, and leisure time spent at home with family and friends."
Our store is located in downtown Fernie on 2nd Avenue in the historic Livery Building, which was constructed in 1908 using stones harvested from the mighty Elk River. The building was built by the Fernie Livery, Dray, and Transfer Co. which once served the Elk Valley delivering dry goods and coal to homes and businesses. More than 100 years later, from this same location, The Urban Settler is proud to serve Fernie, The Elk Valley, Kootenays, and beyond. We have recently opened a second location on second avenue beside the Livery building, doubling our sqaure footage. The space includes warehouse and additional showroom and ensures our ability to offer a greater selection of furniture and décor to our clients.
“We strive to have a fantastic collection of furniture to choose from, with enough inventory to help those who don’t have time to wait!”
Inside the thick stone walls is a light filled showroom filled with inspiration and a well curated collection of wares- Modern sofas, unique decor, sturdy reclaimed wood furniture, vintage finds, sumptuous bedding, beautiful window coverings, unique lighting fixtures & lamps. Our friendly knowledgeable team is always on hand to advise and inform.
