Canvas Home

Specialties

Canvas is a collection of artisan-​made home goods, inspired by the beauty of hand crafted objects. Our motto «Simple, Sustainable, Style» perfectly summarizes our design philosophy and world goals.

Simplicity

We believe a blank canvas is something full of possibilities and with unlimited potential. At Canvas we celebrate the beauty of natural materials that are crafted into simple, one-​of-​a-​kind shapes and silhouettes.

Sustainability

We continuously strive to use materials that are sustainably sourced, be it reclaimed wood, recycled glass, or fast-​growing bamboo fibers. We feel good about our green principles, so you can too. We also believe in supporting artisans in developing countries.

Style

Designing beautiful things for the home is our driving passion. By offering a range of sophisticated pieces that work perfectly together as a collection or paired with other treasured items, you’ll be sure to enjoy them longer and live with them forever.

History

Established in 2008.

Canvas was founded in 2008 by British designer and entrepreneur, Andrew Corrie. Andrew divides his time between Eastern Long Island and New York City. Canvas’ style encapsulates that duality, the fluid mix of the urban chic and the relaxed country environments and therefore works wonderfully well in both.

Many pieces in the collection were initially made to fulfil specific needs in Andrew’s own home and after they passed this initial «test» were then developed for the Canvas line. This forms an interesting part of the Canvas design philosophy and process. Andrew’s mantra has always been: «The home is a blank canvas, let us help you paint a unique picture, reflective of the life you lead».

Business Owner

Andrew Corrie, founder of Canvas, had a circuitous path to launching and managing one of the most sought after design brands in the United States today.

Originally from Dorset in the United Kingdom, Corrie graduated from the London School of Economics with a degree in monetary economics. He went on to become an investment banker and specialized in the retail and apparel industry. But, after years of traveling to craft fairs and serving on the board of Aid to Artisans, Corrie was inspired to leave the world of banking in 2005 to create Canvas. Canvas’ mission is simple: the brand serves as a destination for beautiful objects created by craftsmen from around the world. A proponent of fair trade and green principles, through Canvas, Corrie is committed to offering simple and sustainable ceramics, wooden objects, textiles, and furniture that are meant to be used, treasured, and passed down to the next generation.
