Jason Wu has teamed up with famous home furnishings brand Canvas in order to create a special, super-chic eight-piece collection featuring hand-dyed linen upholstery, metal casegoods, and hand-blown glass accessories.
Are you ready for a new, super-stylish collaboration? If the
answer is yes, then just have a nosey at this one-of-a-kind capsule
line! "I wanted to mix the DNA of Jason Wu and Canvas together,"
Jason Wu says about his latest collection for the famous home
furnishings brand. The renowned designer made a special eight-piece
collection featuring hand-dyed linen upholstery, metal casegoods,
and hand-blown glass accessories. "I’ve always loved the rustic,
slightly worn style of Canvas and that element of an artisanal
hand. It’s so inherently chic," Wu added.
Speaking about the collaboration, Wu, who created the collection
together with Canvas’s founder, Andrew Corrie, told Vogue magazine
that as designer you can use your imagination in so many different
ways. "It feels like I’m just filling in the pieces of the puzzle,"
says Jason Wu of his new furniture line with Canvas. "I never
thought of myself as being limited to fashion. I’m a designer and
if you have a vision, you can apply that to anything."
Andrew Corrie confessed that Wu's talent gives a 'glamorous'
touch to all things he creates. Therefore, talking to Vogue about
the 29-year-old designer, Corrie said that, "Jason has a
spectacular taste level and an eye for detail which lends a
wonderfully glamorous feel to everything."
Their main source of inspiration for the collection were Art Deco
designers like Jacques Adnet and mid-century Danish style. Well,
besides bronze medallions, hand-waxed finish over vintage blackened
metal, and rounded cross bars, the line also includes Wu's
signature handmade lace motif used in order to embroider throw
pillows. The collection is characterized by subtle proportions
which are "complemented by textural materials and solid
construction with each piece made by local craftsmen in the United
States."
This is not Jason Wu's first adventure into the world of furniture,
home accessories, and interior design. The young designer also
began a collaboration in 2006 with Brizo Faucets. "Designing
interior fixtures is an opportunity to challenge myself and branch
out into a new category," said Jason Wu. "The materials and design
considerations are dramatically different than what I am used to
with clothing and accessories. This collaboration will require
finding a new way to add movement and personality to an otherwise
static item."
The special Jason Wu for Canvas home collection is already
available and the pieces are priced between $140 and $4,800.
