Our Story

We started LUMINA with a simple belief: the objects you live with every day should be beautiful, functional, and made to last.

How It Started

From a Small Studio
to Your Home

It began in 2019 with a single ceramic vase. Our founder, Elena Marsh, was frustrated by the flood of disposable, mass-produced home goods that filled stores but emptied souls. She wanted to create objects that had weight, warmth, and meaning.

What started as a one-woman operation in a Portland garage has grown into a collective of over 40 artisans across three countries — but the mission hasn't changed. Every piece we make is designed to be used daily, to age gracefully, and to be passed down rather than thrown away.

What We Believe

Our Values

Craftsmanship

Every piece is made by hand. No machines can replicate the subtle variations and character that come from human touch.

Sustainability

We source natural, renewable materials and partner with artisans who share our commitment to the planet. Plastic-free packaging, always.

Intention

We design for real life — pieces that work hard, feel good, and bring joy to daily rituals. No trends, no gimmicks.

Our Commitment

Sustainability
at Every Step

We don't just talk about sustainability — we build it into every decision. From the materials we choose to the packaging we ship in, we're committed to minimizing our environmental footprint.

  • 100% natural, biodegradable materials
  • Plastic-free, recyclable packaging
  • Carbon-neutral shipping
  • Fair-wage partnerships with artisans
  • 1% of revenue donated to environmental causes
