humans behind objects.
Stoi [vb. Bulgarian - сtой] means to stop.
Founded in 2015, then officially became Maison Stoï in 2018, the studio was born on the slow living principles through ceramic objects and natural cosmetics. Going against the tide of industrialization and hyper-lucrativity, we promote objects humanization by making everything entirely by hand, while maintaining its accessibility. Timeless objects, humility, design and minimalism.
