Meet the Founders Behind CITYGATE

CITYGATE was founded by the talented duo behind Manon Prince Interiors, a respected design firm rooted in the heart of Orléans. For years, Manon and Dave Prince have helped homeowners across Ottawa bring their spaces to life through thoughtful, personalized design. Their work has left a lasting impact on the community, earning them a reputation for excellence, integrity, and timeless style.

Through their design practice, they saw a growing need in the Ottawa market for furniture that blends quality craftsmanship with elevated design — pieces that aren’t just beautiful, but also built to last. Frustrated by the limitations of mass-produced furniture and inspired by the unique needs of their clients, they envisioned something different: a curated furniture destination where style meets substance.

That vision became CITYGATE.

CITYGATE is more than just a furniture store — it's a natural extension of their passion for interiors. The showroom reflects their commitment to design-forward, Canadian-made furniture that speaks to modern living without sacrificing comfort or character. Their mission is to offer Ottawa-area homeowners access to well-made, customizable pieces that inspire, support, and elevate everyday life.

With CITYGATE, Manon and Dave are bringing something new to the local market: a space where customers can not only shop, but feel supported in creating a home that reflects who they are — all backed by years of design expertise.
