A love letter to interior designers

Dear Designers,

‍

Over the past few months our marketplace has grown from 600 products to almost 10,000 (and counting). We’ve packed our shop full of the best new brands and pre-owned products out there. As our marketplace gets bigger and better every day, we know that finding the right products can become a challenge. What’s the best way to filter through design alternates? What will ship in 4 weeks? How can I collect and reference the products I love?

‍

Today, we’re launching our new shopping experience and it’s open to everybody.

We set out to create a storefront built for easy browsing and discovery. We’ve provided better organization, navigation, and tools to let every designer curate, collect and explore in their own way. An easily navigable shop can amplify the creative process. Even the most utilitarian tools (like search) can unlock new levels of inspiration by making it that much easier to find exactly what you’re looking for – or what you didn’t know you were looking for.

‍

A few key things we’ve improved upon in this release:

-Better search, filter and sort features will empower you to stumble upon something new, or double-click into an all time favorite brand.

-Shortcut filters, highlighting Quickship and Second Life items, will help you meet project deadlines and goals.

-Most importantly, our entire shop is now publicly available to view – so you can easily share the things you love with your collaborators.

‍

Our shop is the foundation of our platform, offering access to thousands of products with real and reliable data where and whenever you need it. So it’s important that it works the way that you work, so that you can continue to discover, inspire, create, and deliver better, more sustainable spaces.

‍

We hope you love the new shop. You can check it out here. If you’ve already got a Canoa account, sign in to see full product data.  If you don’t, sign up for free and see why Canoa is the way designers shop and more.

Love,
