Nanoleaf Canvas Squares Let You Paint with Intuitive Touch
Experience the First-Ever Smart Light with Touch Effects and Controls

Toronto, ON – December 1, 2018 – The Nanoleaf Canvas is here to change the way we think about lighting. For the past two years, the Nanoleaf Light Panels have colored countless homes and offices, creating more vibrant spaces for living, playing, and working. Now comes the Canvas: the first-ever touch-controlled modular smart light, designed to delight the senses and transform the common living space.

Magic of Touch Brings Your Home to Life
The Nanoleaf Canvas is a light that can change, shift, and grow with you. With interactive touch technology engineered to react to your unique gestures, you can touch to turn on or off, adjust brightness, switch animations, and activate the music visualizer. Tap the ‘Shuffle’ button on the Control Square to discover thousands of new Scenes instantly. Now you can change the entire ambience of your home with a single touch—even without your phone.

Bring the beauty of real-life scenes of nature right into your home. Touch to ignite the soft ripple of a Koi pond running across your walls, and then touch again to set the perfect mood for date night. Relaxing at the end of the day or getting ready for a party? There’s an instant touch Canvas Scene for every scenario and occasion life has to offer.

A Human Side to Technology
Combining smart controls with a classic edge-lit aesthetic, the thoughtful design of the Nanoleaf Canvas makes it a standalone piece of art that appeals to the senses while making your home more intelligent. With a multi-faceted texture effect, the Canvas’ brilliant crystal-like optics play off the traditional marble tile—eloquently capturing that elusive human touch often neglected by today’s smart home.

Limitless Design Possibilities
Nanoleaf believes in lighting that fits into your life, not the other way around. With the Canvas, you curate the shape, colors, animations, and automated schedule so that it benefits you throughout your day. Use the unique offset linker system to create even, uniform designs or abstract, asymmetrical ones. Customize with your favorite colors in the Nanoleaf App or download new Scenes in the ‘Discover’ tab. Connect up to 500 Light Squares to a single Control Square for incredibly immersive installations. Compatible with all voice platforms, the Canvas offers the most convenient controls. How you use the Canvas is completely up to you—this is the light with no limits.

Create Your Very Own Masterpiece
“With each new product we create, our goal is always to offer a more personal & joyful lighting experience curated to each individual user,” says Gimmy Chu, CEO & Co-Founder of Nanoleaf. “With the Canvas, you decide how your light fits into and makes your everyday life better. The advanced customizations offer the smartest controls while the multi-faceted marble-like design makes the Canvas a standalone piece of art on your wall. We’re incredibly excited to introduce the Canvas—hopefully instilling more joy and a sense of belonging into each and every space it inhabits.”
