Maître Renard furniture is designed by Chantiers Chibougamau and its subsidiary Nordic, one of the largest in the region.
Nathaniel Perron points out that Maître Renard, named in reference to the famous Jean de La Fontaine legend, Le Corbeau et le Renard, would eventually want to join the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean beer route.
