Janis Kravis was a Latvian architect who established Toronto's first concept store, Karelia, in 1959. A combination café, studio, and retail store, Karelia was a hub for Toronto's mid-century creatives that introduced Marimekko textiles and contemporary Finnish designs to central Canada. Karelia has been noted as “the city’s entry point for the anti-drab aesthetics of Scandinavian modernism.”
