Kalon Studios makes a collection of simple and sustainable everyday objects. 

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.
