New Tie-Dye Collection!

Tie-dyed cotton from Burkina Faso

Tie-dyed cotton cushion in grey-green.

From the moment we set eyes on our new cotton tie-dyed textiles from West Africa, we were in love. Between the subtle, sophisticated colors (4 colors total) and the organic hand-dyed feel, these cushions and throws have fast become a canvas favorite. Now available both online and in store, we are pleased to offer them just in time for those warmer spring and summer nights!

One more reason to love!

All of our Burkina Faso tie-dyed textiles are made using cotton grown local to the artists and are sponsored by Aid to Artisans, a group who helps improve and build the practices of artisan groups in Africa. No wonder these textiles are full of heart.

simply perfect

Stour1

Stour dinnerware collection in matte white and glossy grey.

It’s a rare treat to be able to design the ceramics you use everyday. You get to consider everything from proportion to form to glazes and see the collection come to life. Well, that is exactly what we got to do when designing our Stour Dinnerware Collection, and the result (in our opinion) is simple (but perfect).

Stour3

Glossy grey Stour pasta bowl.

The Stour is a river whose source is in Wiltshire, England. Our Stour dinnerware was inspired by the river’s bends and its beautiful surroundings.

Every piece has been considered individually, with an emphasis on organic shape and functionality, making them simultaneously elegant and informal.

Our two clean finishes- a matte white and glossy grey, show off food beautifully and are both dishwasher and microwave safe. We love to mix the sets when throwing a dinner party, including the coordinating Stour serving pieces.

This week, receive 20% off all glossy grey Stour dinnerware and bring a little bit of our kitchen into your home. Offer good now until March 21st.

A cut above…

Cutlery_large

If you’re anything like we at canvas once were, you’ll find your kitchen outfitted with flatware that is a hodge-podge of shapes and sizes, remnants from lives past and victims of too many moves. We decided it was high time for some updated everyday cutlery.
Honestly- what is more inviting than a beautifully dressed dining table, equip with a stylish set of quality flatware?

canvas’ polished gold Classic cutlery.


Made in Portugal from high quality stainless steel, our cutlery sets are simply beautiful and intended for everyday use. The weighty steel gives our flatware a great hand, while the pleasing shapes make dinning a delight. Available in three dishwasher safe finishes (matte stainless steel, matte gold and polished gold) our eye catching flatware will grace your table for years to come.
As a gift to you, and to help you get started, we will send you two free sets of our Classic cutlery for every eight sets that you purchase online by March 20th. Cheers!

Let there be light

Curvy-lamp_large

As we crawl out of our seemingly endless winter hibernation, naturally we begin to consider and long for more light. Whether the soft glow of a wooden desk lamp or the bright focus of hanging pendants, we at canvas agree - the more light the better!

That’s why we’ve introduced some great options- Our Curvy Bottom lamp has a clean mid-century feel and works perfectly in offices, bedrooms and on side tables. Created from repurposed walnut off-cuts, each lamp is handmade in Ohio by Amish woodworkers and given a light oil finish. We love the warmth these lamps create!

In need of some stylish spot lighting? What kitchen or living room wouldn’t want our earthenware Mila pendants hanging around? With a matte white glaze and focused light, our locally made ceramic pendants get the job done and look great doing it. The pleasing shape hides the less than pretty (but very necessary) florescent pig-tail light bulbs. Luckily, the soft light that bounces off the white glaze gives the warmest quality light since we stopped using the Edison light bulb (a day we lament for loss of character, but welcome for the improvements to the environment). Hang the Mila individually or grouped together for more coverage. Our favorite use? Gathered in a trio to help illuminate those lonely reading corners!

Linen by the yard

In need of a freshen up? When a simple spring cleaning isn’t doing the trick, we always turn to our hand-dyed linen collection to brighten up the home. Woven by a cooperative in Kerela, India using a traditional 19th century european weave, our luxurious linens are perfect for any room in the home. Available in six colors (with a new Heather color on the horizon) the loose yardage is ideal for custom slip covers, tablecloths or drapes. We even use it for our upholstery pieces!

Canvas’ linen collection available by the yard.

Our favorite use? Canvas’ linen pillow collection. Made from our linen yardage, they are soft enough to cuddle up with, yet the sturdy weave holds up to use as seat and floor cushions.

And let’s not forget our beloved pooches- canvas’ linen dog beds are just the cozy cushion they have been dreaming of…

Trade show round-up

Well, it’s the end of a busy buying season! With the launch of both the canvas website and canvas store this past year, we’ve made it our mission to introduce lots of fresh new products from our favorite makers for Spring. Some of the finds we are most excited about this season- beautifully washed linen napkins and tablecloths from Lithuanian based LinenMe, scrumptious lip balms and body oils from Jao Ltd (formulated without dyes, petroleum or artifical fragrances), simply darling screen-printed tea towels from Poppy Treffry in the UK, and sturdy everyday ceramic teapots from Metropolitan Tea Co. 

We can’t wait to get all the new products in. One more reason to look forward to Spring!
