Our studio was founded on the simple idea that furniture and objects designed with intention, care, and depth have the power to change the way we live for the better.
We imbue these values into every aspect of our products and design process, from the aesthetics of a chair, to the function of a light, to the longevity of the materials we choose.
A better world starts with a better Home.
James Tan
Founder & Designer
Growing up in the Philippines taught James how imbuing a space with even a small amount of care could make a dramatic difference in whether that space felt like a home or merely a place to live. This fueled his passion for design and fed his curiosity, eventually inspiring him to teach himself how to make furniture. After years of honing his skills in the high-end contract furniture industry, he founded SVN based on the belief that furniture and objects designed with intention, care, and depth can transform a space into Home.
