iMural, a family-owned company specializing in the custom manufacturing of Murphy beds.
iMural has three stores and a manufacturing facility to welcome you: Montreal, South Shore, and Laval.
Since 2012
Founded in 2012 by Michel, father and son, let's say that our two entrepreneurs had the audacity and flair when it came time to dive in and start the iMural company as we know it today! With a solid background in sales, having worked as a real estate broker for nearly 20 years, the idea emerged during the time when Michel Jr. and Senior had a condominium project in a rapidly expanding new area in Montreal: 'Griffintown.' However, around 2009-2010, the popularity of micro-condos between 275 sq. ft. and 450 sq. ft. had not yet peaked, and sales were simply not happening. That’s when the idea came to them: maximize space by installing Murphy beds! An idea they do not regret, as sales eventually skyrocketed, and their condominium project sold out at 100%, largely thanks to the presentation of units equipped with Murphy beds.
January 2012 - iMural St-Hubert
January 2012. We witness the early days of the first iMural store on the South Shore of Montreal. At that time, iMural is not yet a manufacturer but is solely focused on sales. Business quickly picks up, and the growing demand for Murphy beds is palpable. One thing is holding our two entrepreneurs back from truly standing out in the field: 'True CUSTOMIZATION.' Aha! There’s our path! Who manufactures genuine custom products? With the actual dimensions of customers, their ideas, their constraints? But who does true custom work all the way to the ceiling with closures, enclosed on both sides between two walls? Practically no one; these features are extremely rare in this field. The two Michels need to go further in the project to offer the best product in the Murphy bed industry. 'We need a manufacturing facility,' declares Michel Jr. 'But that’s crazy!' replies Michel Sr., until the day Michel Jr. decides to take matters into his own hands and prove to his father that with willpower and perseverance, anything is possible. All it took was buying a small table saw and some melamine to create the first wall bed signed iMural.
The first Murphy bed in iMural's history.
To this day, iMural consists of three people: Mom, Dad, and Son. A thriving business full of ideas and projects. Heart and passion are more than present! It is essential to execute the project for the manufacturing facility of custom Murphy beds by iMural. The challenge is significant, but the ambition is just as great. Before having a factory, we need more sales to become self-sufficient and profitable. So we find ourselves in January 2014 when iMural Montreal is born. Yes, yes! A second Murphy bed store. The excitement is at its peak! Finally, iMural is concretely expanding for the first time. Successful from the opening, it was only a matter of time before Michel Jr. and his father could be completely independent with their beautiful business...

May 2014 - Creation of the iMural Murphy bed manufacturing facility
Michel and Michel now have two well-established stores with a solid reputation. All that remains is to set up the manufacturing workshop. After several weeks of interviewing to find the rare gem and the brave cabinetmakers ready to dive headfirst into the iMural adventure, purchasing the machinery, finding a location, and convincing the banker that their idea is the best (!!!), it is in May 2014 that the iMural workshop produces, in its facilities, the first Murphy bed of a very, very, very long lineage.
January 2019 - iMural Laval
The opportunity is too great not to keep up our momentum! The enthusiasm and determination continuously drive the father and son to offer the best of iMural to satisfy their clientele. iMural Laval is born in January 2019, after almost two years of discussions, reflections, and research... The store is simply beautiful, the demonstration models are spectacular, showcasing the wide and unique range of our talent and our ability to be innovative and original in our business philosophy, our expertise, our creativity, and our immense willingness to push our limits!
