So pleased with the crib we purchased. It’s a simple, beautiful design and that’s more gorgeous in person. Customer service was responsive and a store rep accommodated a request for expedited shipping.

I love my Stump and the fact that every design is utterly unique. Definitely a forever piece, and love that I know it was made by hand with love.

Production/shipping/etc delays are just a fact of life right now, I guess. Thankfully, it was worth the wait.

Incredibly beautiful and unique. Reliable and sustainable. Pieces to pass down for a generation. The Ioline crib and the Bough table are stunning. Had an isometric table before and transitioned it to a desk.

More product releases. Outdoor furniture would be amazing!

EDITED ON JULY 2024: Hi, I wanted to edit my review and rating of Kalon Studios. I submitted a review on the Caravan crib, my review focused on the customer service received by Kalon and not on the crib itself, which we absolutely love. Since my review, we did resolve our issue and received the hardware needed to convert the crib to a toddler bed. The EU rep of Kalon Studios, looked into the matter and discovered that the missing hardware had been stuck in customs for months. The Belgian post needed extra documentation to release the package and no email or phone was provided to contact the receiver (us). Johann took extra care and attention to send us a new hardware and chose a different courier service, so we received all in a few days. Our girl has been happily sleeping on her converted Caravan crib since! So I wanted to fairly edit my first review and thank Johann and Kalon for the extra attention. I still stand on my dissatisfaction with their customer service and I hope that they can improve on it. It’s a small company with limited resources but there are many small businesses excelling in responding promptly to their client’s enquiries. Like I mentioned, the review was never about the design or the product (which we are huge fans of!) but solely on their client support. ////////////////////////////////////////////// We purchased from a reseller the Kalon Studios Caravan crib a few years ago for our first child and when he transitioned to a toddler we bought the Conversion Kit. Back then, we were going to order directly from the Kalon Studios but their customer service was so terrible that I gave up. But I loved the design so much that I got it from a reseller. Fast forward years later, our second child is using the same crib and we needed help to do the conversion. We contacted them and they told us that we needed new hardware, which we ordered and paid for. That was back in October 2023, it’s almost February 2024 and we didn’t get the hardware but worst than that, our emails are ignored or they take weeks to reply. We reached out by Instagram and had a reply but that was 2 months ago, no hard ware, we cannot convert the crib and no one wants to answer our emails. Avoid thir brand. It’s beautiful but it’s not worth the bad experience. Terrible service. I don’t understand how brands in 2024 still get away with this. Do better, Kalon Studios

What is Kalon Studios?
Kalon Studios makes a collection of simple and sustainable everyday objects.
In their own words
Stemming from a belief in the simple beauty and emotive power of everyday objects, Kalon seeks to deepen our relationship and reverence for the things we live with. Kalon’s work maintains a strong point of view informed by American furniture traditions and modernist design, with a focus on elemental forms, natural materials, and versatility. The studio prides itself on its intense attention to materiality, which is at the core of each of their designs, as is an obsession with integrity. With a commitment to ecologically-conscious, regional production, Kalon partners with small teams of highly skilled, fairly paid craftspeople and uses timber sourced from sustainably managed forests and the highest quality natural finishes and materials. By balancing traditional craft modalities with high-tech precision manufacturing and modern forms, Kalon invites a new chapter of contemporary, sustainable design. Kalon was founded in 2007 by Michaele Simmering and Johannes Pauwen and is currently based out of Los Angeles, California. Every Kalon collection has sprung from our own lives — they are the pieces we need, desire, and love. Elevated nursery designs that refuse to compromise, spacious dining tables that extend to seat those we love, living room staples that invite conversation: Our collections reflect the ways we live... and hope to live. The materials we work with are carefully selected for their unique qualities as well as their ability to grow more beautiful with use and age. We believe sustainability also has to do with how long we love a piece — how many lives it lives. We design with flexibility of use, durability, and timeless appeal in mind so that our work may effortlessly adapt to our customers’ changing needs and tastes over the course of a lifetime.
