Canvas Home
Canvas Home products are modern, sustainable home goods that follow the motto, “Simple, sustainable, style.” From table linens and cutlery, to vases and serveware, items by Canvas Home naturally add a clean, organic feel to the spaces in which you eat, dine, and entertain friends and family, new and old. The company focuses on products that will enhance your dining pleasure and are made for the ritual of preparing and enjoying everything from a formal dinner to a cup of afternoon tea.
Founded in 2008 by the British designer Andrew Corrie, many of the items in the collection are initially tested by Corrie and his family in their home before being produced. There is an inherent intimacy in the design process and philosophy of the company that shines through the products. Mr. Corrie’s mantra is, “The home is a blank canvas, let us help you paint a unique picture, reflective of the life you lead.”
Simplicity
For Canvas Home simple does not mean plain or boring. In fact, the simplicity of their designs is what makes them timeless and beautiful. The shapes and silhouettes that emerge through their products celebrate the natural beauty of the material while serving a functional purpose. Materials like glass, porcelain, ceramic, wood, and metal are meaningful in that they, quite literally, bring a tactile experience to the table. Sipping tea out of an Abbesses cup by Canvas offers a much more luxurious experience than consuming the same drink out of a paper cup.
Sustainability
For Canvas Home, material and design compliment one another. Whenever possible sustainable materials are used to create their products. Reclaimed wood, recycled glass, and bamboo are a few examples of materials that you will find in the Canvas Home collection. Canvas Home collaborates with artisans in developing countries and donates 10% of their earnings to non-profit organizations that support such groups. They also work with many artisans based in the United States. Barbara Eigen is a world-renowned ceramicist who regularly collaborates with Canvas Home to create beautiful dinnerware. The Ciara Collection by Barbara Eigen is a line of dinnerware that features generous, open shapes that invite hearty, rustic dining but can also be used for elegant entertaining. The playful, feminine scalloped forms are edged with crenellations inspired by castles that dot the English countryside. You can feel good about your Canvas Home purchase because of the support they give to the artists who make their products.
Style
Canvas Home’s passion is to create beautiful things for the home. Items from their collection work wonderfully together but can easily be paired with objects you already own, from heirloom pieces to thrift shop treasures. The Dauville Collection will add a touch of glamour to your dining table and will fit right in with your grandmother’s silver. The Canvas Shell Bisque collection features a soft color palate and hand-made quality that make the dinnerware look and feel unique. Most of Canvas Home’s products are used in the kitchen or dining room – the spaces in our home where we share food, stories, and life with the ones we love.
