Canoa
A structured database of furniture specs and 20,000+ scaled 2D DWG symbols. REST API with JSON, CSV, and SIF output — built for interior designers, architects, and the tools they use.
What it is
Canoa is a structured product database and 2D symbol library for the furniture industry. It serves two things: spec data (dimensions, materials, pricing, lead times, certifications) and scaled DWG blocks (plan, elevation, section views) — all through a single REST API.
Key capabilities
- 20,000+ 2D symbols — DWG and DXF blocks at 1:1 scale, organized by category, view type, and format
- Full product specs — dimensions, materials, finishes, pricing, lead times, certifications, COM/COL, sustainability data
- 33-column CSV export — maps directly to the skills-for-architects specification format
- SIF output — Standard Interchange Format for dealer and procurement systems
- Search and filter — full-text search across name, brand, designer, collection. Filter by category, dimensions, price range, materials, certifications
Built for
The skills-for-architects ecosystem. When a designer types /product-research modern task chair under $1500, the skill queries Canoa, structures the results, and writes them to the designer’s Google Sheet. Canoa is also available as a standalone API for developers building custom integrations.
