La Maison Simons is a Canadian department store founded in 1840 by John Hamilton Simons as a dry goods store in Quebec City. He made many crossings of the Atlantic seeking out quality English & Scottish goods.
In 1870, the shop was moved to 20 Cote de la Fabrique where it amazingly remains today. As business transitioned into a new era, it slowly transformed into a more traditional department store.
In August, they opened their first Toronto store at Yorkdale Shopping Center. Unique to this location is Ciel, a geometric ceiling mural by French artist Nelio, as well as a ‘walk of frames’ showcasing works from 24 artists. In September, their second store opened at Eaton Center.
BernsteinDisplay had the privilege of collaborating with their visual and creative team to develop a mannequin collection to uniquely showcase their brands in both stores, with a collection celebrating diversity in both size and ethnicity.
Proud to have been included in a small way to support their entry into the Toronto market. Congratulations to Le Maison Simons – wishing them wonderful success.

La Maison Simons est un grand magasin canadien fondé en 1840 par John Hamilton Simons à ville de Québec. À l'origine, c'était un magasin de mercerie. Il a traversé l'Atlantique à plusieurs reprises à la recherche de produits anglais et écossais de qualité.
En 1870, la boutique a déménagé au 20, Côte de la Fabrique, où elle est encore située aujourd'hui. Avec l'évolution du commerce, elle s'est graduellement transformée en un grand magasin plus traditionnel.
En août, Simons a ouvert son tout premier magasin à Toronto, au centre commercial Yorkdale. Ce lieu se distingue notamment par Ciel, une fresque géométrique au plafond réalisée par l’artiste français Nelio, ainsi que par une « promenade de cadres » présentant les œuvres de 24 artistes. En septembre, un deuxième magasin a ouvert ses portes au Centre Eaton.
BernsteinDisplay a eu le privilège de collaborer avec leur équipe visuelle et créative pour concevoir une collection de mannequins mettant en valeur leurs marques dans les deux magasins — une collection célébrant la diversité des tailles et des origines ethniques.
Fiers d’avoir contribué, même modestement, à leur entrée sur le marché torontois.
Félicitations à La Maison Simons — nous leur souhaitons un immense succès.

Collaborations continue to fuel us (pun intended).
Bernstein Display is grateful to have been offered the opportunity to contribute to Sinclair’s DINO legacy for the future – meticulously crafted, molded and manufactured in the U.S..
Yet another example proudly showcasing our expanded capabilities featuring oversize décor and propping.
Sinclair Oil's iconic green Brontosaurus, affectionately known as "DINO," (pronounced “dye-no”) first appeared in marketing materials in 1930 as part of a campaign connecting the company's lubricants to the Mesozoic Era and the formation of fossil fuels. He was registered as a trademark in 1932 and continues to be prominently featured in their advertising, sales promotions (including the NY World’s Fair and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade) and product labels ever since.
Fiberglass DINOs began appearing at Sinclair stations across the country in the early 1960’s and remain still a favorite photo op today.
