" As a kid growing up in Vancouver, Jason Wu had one complaint: his mother&amp;#039;s decorating style. &amp;quot;My friends lived in new housing developments with modern furniture, and here we were in an 80-year-old house filled with antiques,&amp;quot; recalls the fashion designer, who moved to Canada from Taiwan when he was nine. &amp;quot;Of course, my aesthetic now is the same as hers. I love pieces with character. I like all those details.&amp;quot; Wu&amp;#039;s reverence for details, whether it&amp;#039;s an embroidered collar or handmade lace, is very much in evidence in his runway creations. Now the 29-year-old New York\u2013based designer has partnered with Andrew Corrie, founder of home furnishings line Canvas and co-owner of the high-end design shop Ochre, to launch his first home collection. Jason Wu/Canvas is a tightly edited ensemble of 10 elegant yet utilitarian pieces, including a dining table, sofa, and pendant light, that&amp;#039;s in keeping with Canvas&amp;#039;s clean, slightly rustic aesthetic\u2014but with a jolt of Wu glamour. Click here to see the gallery for &amp;quot;Perfect Fit.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;As with all my collaborations, this developed very organically,&amp;quot; explains Wu, who has also lent his touch to bath fittings (for Brizo) and candles (for Nest Fragrances). It was decorator Jesse Carrier who first introduced Wu to Corrie&amp;#039;s stores when he was working on the fashion designer&amp;#039;s new showroom. Wu purchased an Ochre chandelier and then began shopping at Canvas for everything from bookshelves to ceramics. &amp;quot;Andrew has amazing taste,&amp;quot; Wu raves. &amp;quot;Everything is chic in an unassuming way.&amp;quot; Signature motifs of their collection include narrow, tapered legs and sharp, geometric lines that reference the designs of early-20th-century French masters like Jacques Adnet. Dark patinated steel is the standout material. &amp;quot;I love how it&amp;#039;s just a little gritty,&amp;quot; Wu says. &amp;quot;Like a hem with a raw edge.&amp;quot; Wu says he&amp;#039;s excited to use the pieces when he moves to a new apartment. &amp;quot;I do think Jason was keeping in mind what he&amp;#039;d like to have himself,&amp;quot; says Corrie. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s often the nicest way to design.&amp;quot; here to see the gallery for &amp;quot;Perfect Fit.&amp;quot; Plus, see Jason Wu&amp;#039;s stylish studio and Canvas&amp;#039;s collaboration with Justin Timberlake&amp;#039;s HomeMint line "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
