calma;
We are on a mission to declutter homes,
minds and our environment, by creating calma spaces.
We live by three calma principles
Clutter-free homes & minds
Spaces designed for calm
Homes that don’t just look amazing, but can also improve our overall well-being. Simplifying our homes, can promote a feeling of space, calmness and clarity.
Destress
By reducing visual and mental noise. Opt for clean lines, calming colors, and uncluttered spaces, to cultivate a sense of tranquility
Be productive
Eliminating distractions can improve our concentration
Be free!
Living with less clutter and distractions gives you more freedom to enjoy life!
Lasting style
Products that are made to last
We don’t follow trends. We make stylish, highly durable furniture – that will last the test of time. Which is better for your pocket and the planet.
Style over trend
We create designs that won’t date – furniture you’ll want to keep
Craftmanship
Our products are made with solid joinery, designed to last a lifetime
Quality materials
The materials we use are highly durable
Sustainable living
Another benefit of stream lining our spaces, is that it encourages us to be mindful of our consumption and make more conscious choices
Simple design
Designed with no space for waste
We make furniture with minimal components, materials and packaging, to reduce waste – for a clearer conscience. We minimise:
Components
We aim to make our products with minimal components and materials to reduce resource use
Packaging
We design our packaging like we design our furniture – less is more
Energy and waste
During our design and manufacture processes we try to waste as little energy and materials as possible
Toxins
Where we can, we try to avoid synthetics in our products
