After nearly a year of anticipation, one of Toronto’s most iconic dining destinations has reopened its doors—ushering in a bold, reimagined era for Harbour Sixty. Known for its elevated cuisine and classic steakhouse glamour, the restaurant’s complete transformation has captured the attention of design lovers and food enthusiasts alike.
At Maddan Group, we had the distinct honor of working with Encore to deliver custom carpet solutions that help bring this new vision to life. Our focus? Three signature spaces: the First Floor Dining Room, the Commissioner private dining space, and the Estelle Ballroom.
These areas now showcase the elegance and performance of Encore’s Axminster Express collection—an exceptional choice for hospitality environments where design and durability go hand in hand.
A Fresh Vision for a Toronto Icon
More than just a renovation, Harbour Sixty’s relaunch is a full-scale reinvention. With interior design by the award-winning studio Fleur de Lis Interior Design and BLT Construction, the new Harbour Sixty is sleek, bold, and thoroughly modern—while still paying homage to the timeless glamour that made it iconic.
This vision extended all the way to the flooring.
Dark, Refined, and Designed to Impress
Encore’s Axminster Express was selected for its ability to deliver both high-end aesthetics and performance. For Harbour Sixty, the custom carpet design featured a rich, dramatic palette: deep browns, greys, and earthy red undertones—tones chosen to complement the restaurant’s moody lighting, polished wood, and bold architectural details.
Each space had a distinct atmosphere, and the carpet played a crucial role in creating that feeling:
1st Floor Dining Room: The main floor now exudes contemporary sophistication, grounded by carpeting that adds depth and dimension without stealing the spotlight.
The Commissioner: This intimate private dining room called for a design that felt powerful yet refined, with subtle patterning that enhances the exclusivity of the space.
Estelle Ballroom: Designed to host elegant private events, the carpet here strikes a balance between flexibility and luxury.
The Power of Axminster Carpet in Design
Encore’s Axminster Express is a designer’s dream for hospitality, restaurant, and multi-family projects. Why?
Woven quality and clarity: Crisp, clean pattern execution—no blurring, no fading.
Exceptional durability: Built to perform in high-traffic environments.
Custom capability: The ability to translate creative vision into precise woven detail.
Luxury underfoot: A tactile experience that reinforces quality at every step.
This isn’t just flooring—it’s a statement piece. And in a venue like Harbour Sixty, every element matters.
