Product Designer (Decor) – Article

Department: Product (Furniture) | Location: Vancouver | Compensation: $100,000 – $105,000 / year

About the Role

Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 Since 2013, we have been redefining the furniture industry one sofa at a time. It’s not easy—it requires solving challenging, meaningful problems. This is where you come in. As a Product Designer (Decor), you'll play a key role in expanding Article’s softlines and small decor categories, bringing a tastemaker’s eye and a strong sense of style and trend to every product we create.

Why We Need You

We’re looking for a resilient and adaptable designer who thrives in a collaborative environment and has an eye for emerging trends. You’ll need to be comfortable working with some ambiguity.

This role combines hands‑on design for textiles and decorative accessories. You will be collaborating across Design, Category Management/Merchandising, Technical Product Development, and our overseas partners/vendors.

With the expansion of our Decor category (Rugs, Wall Art, Pillows, etc.), we need an expert in textile design. You will be the subject‑matter expert on print patterns, weaves, and fabrics.

The designer will contribute to print and pattern development, drive ODM/ODM+ product creation, and ensure all products reflect Article’s aesthetic and commercial expectations. As the category grows, this position offers a clear development path toward Softline Planning and deeper category ownership.

During your first couple of months, you will get acquainted with our design and product systems. After that, you’ll begin work on products set to launch in 2027.

What You’ll Do

• Design and select softline products (pillows, throws, rugs, bedding).
• Support design and selection of small decor items (vases, art, sculptural objects).
• Maintain decor alignment with the Article DNA, Design Intent, and the rest of our catalogue.
• Build towards the development of in‑house prints, patterns, color palettes, and textile concepts.
• Collaborate with overseas partners on product development and sampling.
• Manage ODM/ODM+ design, development tracking, and vendor communication.
• Partner with the current Softlines Designer for category coaching and alignment.
• Support documentation, sample reviews, and product development updates.
• Build capability toward Softline Planning over time.

Qualifications

• Degree in Textile Design, Interior Design, Fashion Design, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in softlines, textiles, decor, or a related design field.

Technical Skills

• Strong graphic skills, with experience in print and pattern creation.
• Understanding of textile construction, weaving, materials, and softline manufacturing.
• Experience with ODM/ODM+ product development and overseas vendor communication.

Tools We Use

• Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
• Bonus: Familiarity with CAD and tools like Wrike (PLM/WIP tools).

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for rugs and other softlines.
• Experience using KeyShot or other render engines.
• Experience with AI modeling tools.

Additional Requirements

• Legally able to work in Canada.
• Completion of a criminal background check.

Perks & Benefits

• Salary range: $100,000 – $105,000.
• 4% RRSP matched contributions through Wealthsimple.
• 15 days of vacation; 1 extra day off (Inclusion and Diversity Day).
• 6 well‑being (sick) days.
• Hybrid work: 3 days a week in the office; remote work up to 3 weeks.
• Excellent extended health and dental benefits packages.
• $1,000 health/lifestyle spending account for physical and mental well‑being.
• TELUS Health App with mental health assistance, counseling, and virtual medical appointments.
• Office perks: open layout, collaboration spaces, stand‑up desks, snack & beverage stations, onsite fitness equipment, dog‑friendly environment.
• Free street parking and secure bike storage.
• 45% discount on our entire product range (15% for friends and family).
