You won't find water beds at Montreal's minimalist Exos, but
this new design store and water bar is hydrated in plenty of other ways.
Instead
of alcohol, the bar serves more than 35 brands of still and sparkling bottled
water from around the world, with choices ranging from the common Perrier to the
esoteric German Gerolsteiner (its mineral makeup is said to aid digestion). Even
the coffee sold at Exos's café is made with spring water from Northern Quebec.
In addition, Exos sells water-based cosmetics and skin-care products, including
the Ahava line from Israel, which uses minerals from the Dead Sea. Many of the
design objects offered at the shop, such as latex radios and rubber pens, can
get wet without worry. Exos 345, Sainte-Catherine Est Montreal -
