Canoe
This downtown destination is all about providing stylish, simple objects for the home that will be used every day—ideally forever. That means a curated selection of items for the kitchen, bath, and living room, many created just for the store. We love the set of matte black Anchor mixing bowls, the wood-lidded salt cellar, the quick-drying kitchen cloths made with purifying binchotan charcoal, the Chemex glass kettle that’s also found in MoMA’s design collection, the British porcelain mortar and pestle—and that’s barely scratching the surface.
PRO TIP: Only brought a carry-on? Give all of your friends a little bag of locally made Jacobsen salt. Want that cool Japanese rocking chair? They ship quickly. Oh, and you’re right behind the Portland Art Museum. Go get some culture!
THE DETAILS: Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
