“Loft is a through-and-through industrial and modern design,” says Michelle MacLellan, the interior designer at La-Z-Boy Hunt Club. “It keeps a great balance between the two styles and truly stands in a league of its own.”

About Canadel Custom Dining

Established in 1982, Canadel is a Canadian family-owned company that manufactures handcrafted, high-quality, and custom-made dining room furniture. All Canadel products are manufactured in North America and distributed throughout Canada and the United States.

As makers of authentic birch wood dining room sets, Canadel operates with a vision of creating meaningful family heirlooms that will be passed down through generations. 

 In addition, they provide extensive customization options, made easier with the Canadel UDesign tool, which provides the online customer with over 9 million furniture combinations and options to choose from

Michelle emphasizes that Canadel's local presence and reputation for longevity are what resonate most with Ottawa buyers. “Our clients want pieces they don’t have to replace. Canadel delivers that kind of confidence.”

Canadel Loft Style and Unique Features

The Loft Collection by Canadel brings together the raw charm of industrial design with the warmth of rustic craftsmanship. 

Handcrafted in North America using solid Canadian birch and eco-friendly hevea wood, each piece in the Loft collection features clean lines, textured finishes, and a substantial, grounded feel that makes a bold statement in any space.

This collection draws inspiration from both urban factory settings and cozy lodge-style living. “Loft is a through-and-through industrial and modern design,” says Michelle, “It keeps a great balance between the two styles; it truly stands in a league of its own.” The furniture often blends wood and metal elements, distinguishing it from similar collections like Champlain, which embraces a softer, French country aesthetic.”

The collection’s signature pieces, like round and rectangular dining tables with chunky wooden tops and metal bases, anchor the industrial look, while the variety of seating options ensures flexibility in both style and comfort. 

Whether you prefer upholstered chairs or raw wood benches, Loft provides the structure and style to support either.

Canadel Loft Customization Options

It is important to note that all available options and customizations to the Loft dining collection can be explored on Canadel’s UDesign tool, which is easily accessible on the Canadel website.

Dining Tables

Loft’s dining tables have multiple sizes and two height options available. In addition, customers can choose between round and rectangular table options with either a glass tabletop or a wooden finish. Note that glass tabletops do not come in round versions.

According to Michelle, the solid wood tabletop is almost 3 inches thick, meaning it is a bulkier option for a table.

Dining tables also have the option to have legs or pedestal options. In fact, Loft is also the only Canadel dining collection to have double pedestal features, meaning extended dining tables have two pedestals that appear on both ends of the dining table.

There are currently 14 different style dining tables available in the Loft Collection.

Dining Seats

As for dining chairs, stools and benches, these all have the option to be upholstered or unupholstered. In addition, dining chairs can either have different seating and back materials or they can be coordinated to match. The same thing also applies to stools, should they have an optional back within their design.

It is important to mention that Loft is the only dining collection to feature metal and wooden stools in their collection. The stools can have an iron base with a wooden back, should customers choose this design.  

Finally, upholstered dining benches can come in either fabric, velvet, faux leather or you can opt for just a plain wooden finish as a seating option.

The Canadel Loft Collection features:

• 13 Dining Room Chair Options
• 9 Dining Stool Options
• 9 Dining Bench Options

Dining Buffets

A buffet may be the perfect way to tie your selection together and turn your dining pieces into a complete dining room. 

The buffets come in various shapes, sizes, and patterns, in which the accent colour, body colour, and finish can be customized.

The Canadel Loft Collection currently features 13 dining buffet options, the most out of any collection.

Wood Finish, Glass & Upholstery Options

Among all the Loft dining furniture, there are many different colours and finish options that the collection offers. 

The Loft collection has about 12 wood finish colours and many different fabric options to choose from, leaving this collection with minimal restrictions. 

Should customers decide on glass options, there are 3 clear glass colours to choose from and 2 frosted glass colours.

Moreover, upholstered dining seating options, such as chairs, benches, or stools, are offered in a massive array of fabric and velvet options to choose from. Loft also features faux-leather options.

Canadel Loft Collection Warranty

The Canadel Loft Collection is covered by Canadel’s 1-year warranty, which covers the repair or replacement of chair frames, tabletops, fabric tears, or any unforeseen circumstances that would be covered under Canadel’s warranty. 

Given that each piece of furniture is quality-crafted and built to last a long time, Canadel also offers an extended 5-year warranty plan at an additional cost. 

This not only goes to further protect your purchase, but it is also transferable when you purchase new Canadel Furniture if you are looking to replace old additions.

Is the Canadel Loft Collection Right for You?

The Loft collection may be described as stylish and unique, but is it the right choice for your dining room? The answer to this depends on your budget, lifestyle, and design preferences.

The Loft Collection strikes a balance between rustic and industrial aesthetics, making it a compelling choice for those who enjoy urban-inspired design with warmth and character. As Michelle MacLellan explains, “Anyone who loves the rustic look but is indifferent to slight design alterations will love Loft.”

While Loft falls in the mid-to-high price range, its custom craftsmanship and durability make it a solid long-term investment. However, those seeking budget-friendly options or more traditional rustic styles like Canadel’s Champlain collection may find Loft’s modern edge less appealing.

Because industrial and rustic design is increasingly popular, Lofts’ look may feel familiar in urban homes. If you’re after a highly distinctive or minimalist style, this collection might not align with your vision. But for those drawn to modern-rustic fusion, Loft is both stylish and versatile.
