Canoe CANOE was established in 2005. To us, modern is an approach, not a style. We seek out products with a lasting aesthetic that transcends short-lived trends.

Drawing on our 20 years of experience in the retail industry and our passion for design, the CANOE concept is to offer simple, beautiful, and functional objects that can be used and enjoyed everyday. Questions or comments about our goods or services? Please contact us by phone or e-Mail.

Aalto curves: after a long hiatus, the iconic Alvar Aalto vase is back in stock. The flowing curves of the vase echo the sinuous lines seen in Aalto's architecture and interiors. The interiors here are from his design for the library at Mount Angel Abbey, right here in Oregon.

Black Beauty: All-Black Aluminum Lap Tray from Kaymet. Kaymet has been producing trays and trolleys in London since 1947. We love the diamond pattern on the tray top that adds visual interest and just the right amount of friction to help keep objects in place. Functional elegance at its best and a true lifetime product.

Ny Chair designed by Takeshi Nii, in 1958. This early modernist chair is remarkably comfortable and folds away easily when not in use. Timeless and appealing, it's still in production today.

American industrial design at its best: the Zeroll Ice Cream Scoop. Lightweight and rust proof one-piece aluminum construction with no mechanical ejector or other parts to potentially break. The handle contains a non-toxic sealed fluid that transfers the warmth of your hand through the handle to the scoop, releasing the ice cream. The curved bowl with the defined edge cuts through hard ice cream with ease. Made in the US since the 1930s, it's the gold standard of ice cream scoops and found in daily use at ice cream shops everywhere. There's plenty of summer left to enjoy some ice cream.
