Crafting tomorrow's living spaces

In a world where fast furniture often dominates the market, Sithmini Gamalath stands apartnot merely as a designer, but as a storyteller.

- 

Her creations are not just pieces to be placed in a room, they are crafted narratives, shaped by the textures, colours and memories of Sri Lanka.

This philosophy shapes every aspect of her work. Her design language blends minimalist elegance with cultural nuance. Beyond aesthetic appeal, sustainability is central to her vision. As her brand grows, she remains committed to her core ethos celebrating Sri Lanka's rich craft heritage while embracing global design sensibilities. Raised with a deep appreciation for artistry and heritage, Sithmini's earliest memories of design came from her father and also by watching skilled local craftsmen transfer raw timber with objects of beauty. 'Wood has a life' she says. If you listen closely, it will tell you what it wants to become in every curve, every join, and every finish.

Today, she has the joy of creating alongside her husband, Ravin—her best friend, soulmate, and greatest supporter—an Architect by profession. It's a true blessing that they see eye to eye on so many things, sharing similar tastes and design styles that make building both their life and work together feel effortless.

Furniture plays a big role in styling, what do you look for in pieces?

A: I am drawn to pieces that are minimal but layered in detail, that feel lived in, yet elevated. I look for clean lines, beautiful proportions, and materials that hold character. It should feel intentional and effortless at the same time.
