Canvas Interface Redesign is an interface design group project that helps to improve the user experience of Canvas. The current layout of Canvas’s Homepage has much information that is not useful to students and is not conducive to assignment completion. Base on the experience of the recent Canvas homepage, our team listed out some major issues and we design our interview questions. Since almost every student uses the canvas, we decided to interview both lower level and upper-level students from different schools and college. After we did the observation interviews and researchers, we decided to redesign the Canvas into a customized homepage that would fulfill different needs for different students.

The Tea Table Chair is inspired by Danish design elements. It is a combination of classic and modern design, using simple straight lines and curves. The chair has a very unique and comfortable armrest that fit perfectly with the arm angle.
​Materials: Maple Wood, Foam, Suede
Made in Copenhagen, Denmark


Design Inspiration



When I lived in Copenhagen, I found out that Danish people love to use soft color tone and rounded shape into their design. The Peacock Chair and the Chinese Chair were the two inspirations of my design.
Ideation Sketches & Scale Models







After multiple sketches, I started to make multiple scale models to test the form and structure of the chair
