We first met Loup through Atelier Lips, the ongoing ceramics project he runs with his friend, the artist Charlotte vander Borght. Here, some of that thinking becomes more direct through cups, vases, and small objects made for everyday use. We carry the Atelier Lips espresso cups at Canyon, and they've become some of our most-used pieces: compact and geometric, at once sculptural and playful.

For this edition of Morning Rituals, we met Loup at his apartment in the East Village for a conversation on ideal mornings, finding inspiration in the unexpected, and making work that feels right.

We've followed the work of NY artist Sarah Nsikak for years, drawn to the way she moves between the functional and the atmospheric. It has felt full circle to now have one of her beautiful textiles at home in our new Brooklyn café: a lightweight panel hand-stitched organza silk and antique fabric.

Hospitality sits at the center of everything Rowan Spencer and Emma Leigh Macdonald do. Through their project Mon Petit Canard, the partners and collaborators bring together food, music, and storytelling, creating gatherings that feel as natural and welcoming as spending an evening at a friend’s home.
