M2 Market

Located right in the Bell Center, the M2 Market comprises 8 restaurant counters and an animated central bar which hosts the Canadians’ pre-game show. Where different wall coverings confer a distinctive identity to each of the counters, black metallic details – partitions and wire mesh guardrails, ceiling panels – act as unifying elements throughout the space.
Dividing different sections while maintaining visibility, metallic structures mounted with luminous lettering pay homage to famous markets that can be found in various cities hosting LNH hockey teams. Centering grey and black tones, the design is made festive by colourful touches of neon lighting that add to its urban character. Ceiling panels decorated with journal articles commemorating the golden years of Montreal’s very own Habs.
