Founder & Creative Director

After studying Textiles and Interior Design, and working for over twenty years in the homewares industry for various retail and wholesale brands in Australia, in 2007, Sarah Quin launched her wholesale business Canvas Home as an outlet for her love of unique textiles, colour and pattern.

Sarah's vision has been to create collections of soft furnishings for the home utilising unique traditional hand block printing by artisans in India. Canvas Home was born from the idea that even when starting with a blank canvas, textiles can transform
any environment.

In 2014 Sarah acquired Sasson Home, traders of unique furniture, cotton dhurries and hand painted ceramic lamps. With both businesses growing and supplying top retailers and designers throughout Australia with a complete offering of furniture, soft furnishings and homewares, Canvas+Sasson was born.

“I love travelling and sourcing beautiful things for the home, and the business now allows me to take off on adventures to some really amazing and inspiring places”
