welcome to mianzi’s journal: the seed
We have created a quiet corner where you can find sustainable home design inspiration, and be conscious about our planet and lifestyle while respecting the millennium-old culture, traditions, and heritage. We hope you cozy up, read awhile, and learn more about the sustainable aspirations of Mianzi, the stories sung in the planet-loving products made with love, our family of heritage artisans and so much more. For those seeking to live in a way that is considered kind; in a home with a truly clean conscience - this is the place for you.

supporting artisans + craft
Ethically handmade by heritage artisans of rural India, our collection encourages dignified work for skillful yet struggling women and vulnerable craft communities in a supportive gender-neutral environment.

craft + tech
With a firm belief in hedonistic sustainability, we are developing craft futuristically with the intervention of technology - innovating it meaningfully to provide an environment-friendly alternative - keeping it sustainable and handmade and yet standing stable on the world stage.
