I like this vase more (if that is possible) than the other one offered by this seller. This one has straight sides and is just beautiful. Arrived very quickly and I have already started to use it. I may be purchasing more - possibly for gifts.

I purchased three pieces from Saea Designs, and every single one is stunning. I originally had a few questions about color, and Shezal was so responsive and kind in her messages. She sent me photos so that I could make sure I picked the unique stone variations that matched my style best.

The pieces arrived so quickly, and each one took my breath away. Truly, they're gorgeous and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Shezal!

SAÉA’s STORY

I founded SAÉA through my passion for designing sustainable, handcrafted home decor that embodies Organic Minimalism as an art form and embraces the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi. This means:

1. We believe in honoring nature’s raw beauty, which sets SAÉA apart. Each piece is thoughtfully designed by me and handcrafted by our team of skilled Pakistani artisans using 100% natural stone—free from plastic, synthetics, or harmful treatments

2. We celebrate the natural imperfections of stone, embracing its raw beauty without the use of toxic polishes or artificial dyes—unlike many mass-produced options on the market today.

At SAÉA, we believe that natural stone decor should be accessible to everyone. Our goal is to bring the elegance and durability of natural stone into every home—striking the perfect balance between premium craftsmanship and affordability.

With our carefully curated vintage collection, we are expanding our mission to bring timeless, one-of-a-kind pieces into your space—each with a story to tell. By giving these treasures a second life, we continue to embrace sustainability, champion eco-conscious design, and reduce waste, one thoughtfully chosen piece at a time.

WHY STONE

Stones are natural emblems of raw beauty, formed through geological processes over thousands and sometimes millions of years providing a unique, timeless, and luxurious aesthetic.

Innately versatile, stones enhance the elegance of any interior space regardless of design style, be it modern, traditional, rustic, eclectic, minimalist or maximalist.

Stone pieces are known for their enhanced durability and longevity compared with synthetic materials.

Their manufacturing processes require significantly less energy compared with plastics or synthetics, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

As a natural non-allergenic, stone doesn’t harbor allergens, creating a healthier indoor environment.

Being non-toxic, stone neither leaches harmful chemicals that generate dangerous by-products nor releases toxins into the environment unlike plastics & synthetics.

SAÉA'S CORE VALUES

Authenticity & Individuality:
Each piece of stone we use is one-of-a-kind with unique bands and colors—this means that nobody else can ever own the same SAÉA design that is yours. We will always be committed towards preserving the natural beauty & texture of stones and steer clear from any artificial enhancements. Just like our natural stone designs, each vintage piece is one-of-a-kind, carrying a unique history and character that can never be replicated.

Charitable Giving:
We believe in giving back and donate a portion of all proceeds to vulnerable populations. Through our first collection, we are supporting Muttville, a senior dog rescue & America's first cage-free shelter.

Health & Sustainability:
Each SAÉA stone design is made of nothing but natural materials and is both non-toxic and non-allergenic. We've taken a lot of care to ensure that our packaging is also 100% recyclable or compostable. Vintage curation also keeps quality craftsmanship in circulation, reducing waste and environmental impact while embracing non-toxic, time-tested materials.
