Sylvan began with a simple question: what if the things we live with could feel more connected to the natural world?
Born from an architectural background and a deep love for design, Sylvan grew from a desire to look beyond the pace of fast design and the fleeting nature of contemporary furniture. We believe the objects that inhabit our homes should be considered, enduring, and made to be lived with. Our work explores the relationship between architecture, nature, material and form, bringing the permanence and raw beauty of natural materials into everyday spaces.
For now, our focus is rooted in marble and natural stone, shaped into furniture and homeware designed to stand as statements in their own right while allowing the material itself to remain at the heart of each piece. Every object begins with an appreciation for the stone: its weight, texture, veining, imperfections and the story held within it.
Our process is intentionally slow and considered. We work in small batches, allowing each piece to be thoughtfully developed from the selection of the material to its final form. We source natural stone carefully, looking for distinctive veining, texture and character, then work closely with local artisans and skilled craftsmen who bring each design to life through time-honoured techniques and an understanding of the material.
The result is furniture and objects that retain the individuality of the stone and the subtle marks of the hand, bringing a sense of handcrafted beauty, permanence and connection to nature into your space.
We continue to explore new forms, materials and ideas while always looking for ways to create products that feel contemporary yet timeless, minimal yet expressive, and luxurious without losing their connection to nature.
Made from earth — and for it.
