Canvas+Sasson new range: Jaipur meets Cuba meets Palm Springs!

August 30, 2017 5 Comments

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Canvas+Sasson began as a lot of small businesses do, from home, with the juggle of kids, family and boxes and boxes of cushions. But it wasn’t long until the business began to grow, moving into its own warehouse and studio, much to the relief of founder Sarah Quin (and her husband!).

Now, a decade later, Canvas+Sasson has cemented itself as a homewares and furniture powerhouse, one that embraces the classical to the bohemian and everything in between. Launching two collections a year, their latest offering includes cushions in the most perfect palette of blush pink, gold and tangerine orange; a line of summery Rattan furniture – complete with day bed and 70โ€™s inspired bar cart and towels hand block printed and tasseled.

With a strong global influence, the collection is quite eclectic – think Jaipur meets Cuba meets Palm Springsโ€ฆ with a dash of 70โ€™s! So it comes as no surprise that travel is a huge inspiration for Sarah and Canvas+Sasson’s resident designer Jemma Bell. โ€œWe travel a lot and are constantly picking up ideas from different cultures,โ€ explains Jemma. โ€œI’m based in India and as you can imagine it provides a huge well of inspiration. Weโ€™re always seeing things that can be made to suit a more Australian taste. South America is another amazing place for colour inspiration and Mykonos for a more European influence that is still full of fun, colour and texture.โ€

The Canvas+Sasson team

The wares also give a nod to fashion, with Tory Burch, India Hicks and Aerin Lauder among the designers Canvas+Sasson most admire. โ€œSeeing bold and bright prints in fashion and tailoring or paring back those looks for homewares is a big starting point for our collections.โ€

While the design process varies from collection to collection, one thing that remains the same is the focus on handmade goods. “Many of our textiles are hand block printed, a really beautiful technique found in Rajasthan where wooden blocks are stamped across the fabric and layered in various hues to create a pattern,” says Jemma. “We also use a lot of woven textures in our textiles and love exploring hand embellished crafts such as embroidery, crochet and beading.”

As a wholesaler unfortunately you can’t just pop online to buy, but luckily Canvas+Sasson has a huge list of stockists, so no doubt you will find a place near you.

Oh what a night. Thankfully Hornsby Hospital were as amazing as always and we avoided stitches. All taped and glued  back together and now to keep him calm for the next few days (๐Ÿคช) and watch for signs of concussion.

The new @studio.xox ONLY sells Australian brands. Like @nood_co coloured basins, lead-free eco brass from @faucetstrommen and @lindseywherrett's  ceramic basins made by hand in Tassie.

And as for their Sydney showroom (they also sell online): WOW.

It's the first business to business trade event connecting retailers with Australian made products to champion our local makers๐Ÿ™

Do I recommend a timber vanity top? A big fat NOP Do I recommend a timber vanity top?

A big fat NOPE! ๐Ÿ’ง 

Which is why we have recently covered ours with a Caesarstone top (thanks to @justinplace_sydney for the advice and supply) and the sweet RELIEF of not having to worry about this high traffic area anymore, I'm telling you!๐Ÿค—

Doesn't matter what they tell you or how many times it's sealed, I'm not sure it's a great idea in a room which is so, well, wet!

I love having the warmth of timber in the bathroom and it's a beautiful piece, but timber on the top? Never again.

Ours probably lasted a year (if that) before it started to go downhill (and we want a good decade out of a bathroom, right?!). 2.5 years on, everything else in this bathroom looks virtually brand new and the water marked vanity top was really letting the side down and making me sad!

But I'm so pleased with this solution, I have to say! Took the plumber less than an hour to remove the sink, install the top and connect the sink back up. We didn't need to move the tap and it isn't too close to the basin.

The kids are allowed to brush their teeth and wash their hands (liquid soap ๐Ÿฅด) in here again and I can leave my hair straightener on there with gay abandon ๐Ÿ˜†

The reflective surface (which I can clean with whatever I like!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป) brightens the room up too!

Next week I'll tell you what I really think of my brass tile trim too ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than F Is there a more decadent and delicious soup than French onion?

I think not!

Grab the recipe on the blog this morning via link in bio.
Get to know me! I haven't done one of these in YE Get to know me!

I haven't done one of these in YEARS so there's possibly thousands of you who don't know my back story. Here's a few things you may not know about me!

โœ”๏ธ I'm English ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and I moved here (just for one year) back in 2008๐Ÿ˜† 

โœ”๏ธ I can't end the day without a bath, even if I get home really late or on a really hot day. It's a mental health thing and my happy place. ๐Ÿ› 

โœ”๏ธ Before becoming a blogger and running my own small business, I was a journalist from the age of 18. My favourite news gathering times were as a newspaper crime reporter (bit different to interiors!) ๐Ÿ““ 

โœ”๏ธ I once worked at New Scotland Yard in London ๐Ÿš” 

โœ”๏ธI had an interview at Oxford (didn't get in!) but chose not to go to uni at all after being offered a job on the local paper #universityoflife ๐Ÿ˜

โœ”๏ธ My mum died when I was 3, I have an excellent dad and one sister (younger) in the UK โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 

โœ”๏ธ At school, my favourite subject was French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท and I was head girl ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

โœ”๏ธ I'm addicted to โ˜•๏ธ , long hot baths and๐Ÿ’„ (been wearing it since I was about 14!)

โœ”๏ธ I'm not a phonecall person and will never ever pick up an unknown number. Ever. They can leave a message ๐Ÿ˜

โœ”๏ธ My favourite cuisine is Japanese ๐Ÿฃ ๐Ÿœ and Damian and I honeymooned in Tokyo and Venice 

โœ”๏ธ I have zero design qualifications. I just started blogging about my passion, which is trying to persuade everyone to #heartyourhome That was 11 years ago...

โœ”๏ธ My favourite tipple is a good GnT or๐Ÿท 

โœ”๏ธ Cheesy as it sounds, ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธbeing a mum is my absolute biggest joy in life ๐Ÿง’๐Ÿ‘ฆ

โœ”๏ธ I will never give up my old school paper diary! Has to be A5 and week to view ๐Ÿ“– 

โœ”๏ธ My official surname isn't Bishop. I kept my maiden name for work after I got married but changed it for everything else. Often confuse myself!

โœ”๏ธ I didn't get my Ps until I was 37 and I'm still a terrible parker ๐Ÿ˜ฏ ๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ

Hope you feel like you know me a bit better ๐Ÿ˜˜

Blue, green or lilac? ๐ŸŽจ @nood_co coloured con Blue, green or lilac? ๐ŸŽจ 

@nood_co coloured concrete basins is a great Aussie business success story. Although co founder Matt Di Costa first found fame as one half of Matt and Kim on The Block, he hasn't relied on this to build his brand.

โ€œWe are very honoured to have been a part ofย The Block, and all they have done for us. I am, however, a believer in letting the product take centre stage,โ€ he says.

Read our interview with Matt via link in bio now.

At the end of the day though, it's a matter of personal taste. I love pops of colour but it's not for everyone.
