was built for designers, by designers. We had a simple idea. What if interior designers, dealers, furniture brands and clients could create and deliver better, more sustainable spaces as a team from start to finish... all in one connected workflow? We've created a series of tools to do just that.

Canoa isn't a deck, a doc or a downloaded software. It's a web-based tool built for the way you want to design spaces: freely, responsibly, and together. Unleash your ideas in an infinite collaborative canvas. Make responsible decisions with limitless product data and industry-first AI tools to assist your discovery. And bring your friends along the way.

Public brand catalogs

My catalog

My Catalog is where you can create and manage your own catalog of product specifications and standards. My Catalog allows you to seamlessly import your product data; easily organize products into various Collections; create custom templates (we call these Kits!) for design and layouts, and more. Ensuring that you can design with the product standards that are important to you.

Projects

Dashboards are the interface to bring in projects to your designs, allowing you to focus on the management and scheduling part of the design process so that everyone is aware of a project's scope, progress and status. Within the Canvas, you can create a budget and ensure that it stays on track, create product lists and status reports to make sure milestones are met or track your embodied carbon. With Dashboards, you can easily organize and manage a project's scope of work - all in one place.

With the launch of , designers can now bring their ideas to life in an infinite mood board, assisted by industry-first AI built specifically for interior designers called Canoa AI. Discover new products from our ever-growing catalog of new and second life furniture and accessories, and access real-time pricing and lead time information. Collaborate with clients, colleagues, and suppliers to refine your ideas. And when it's time to bring your designs to life in the real-world, use the embedded furniture schedule and collaboration tools to make it easy to source and buy everything on your list.

Our is filled with tens of thousands of commercial-grade, sustainably-minded products with real pricing, up-to-date lead time information, and scaled 2D drawings that you can drag & drop into your mood board and layout. In short, our Products library makes product discovery and design easy.
