9/26/2023 Update: Based on feedback from designers and suppliers, we updated The Shop to be a robust, data-rich product catalog where suppliers can publish their data, and designers can discover their new favorite products. This update provides freedom for even more product data to be shared while removing any barriers to collaborating with partners such as dealers or furniture reps.

For the past year, we have been hard at work building a curated shop filled with beautiful, sustainable objects for designers to discover. In November 2022, we launched this shop to our existing customers, and in May 2023 we launched shopping cart functionality to our customers, allowing anyone who was already a subscriber of Canoa to discover new products, add them to their cart, and check out.

Today, we released this shop to the public, so that anyone can discover and share new products.

A new storefront

Marketing refresh + public shop

The Canoa homepage is bright blue and shows a new header, the new way designers share.

Our goals were centered around self-serve user behaviors and improved discovery of both our brand and the tools were building. We wanted to create a seamless experience for any user to explore the Canoa universe - our tools and our shop - without even having to sign up.

🤫 The shop is open to everyone, but if you’re not logged in it’s limited 🤫
