Discover the Art of Intentional Simplicity

Rather like a perfectly composed haiku, this rather splendid exploration of Japanese design principles offers something genuinely rare: a guide to creating spaces that whisper instead of shout. If you've ever felt that your home could use a bit more calm and a touch less clutter, this book is rather marvellous indeed.

Why Choose Our Stillness Book

Deep Aesthetic Philosophy: Understand the centuries-old principles behind Japanese minimalism and how they can transform your own spaces into something utterly fetching and properly serene.

Beautifully Illustrated: Gorgeous photography and thoughtful design examples show you exactly how these concepts work in real interiors and architectural moments.

Practical and Accessible: Not a stuffy academic tome, but rather a delightfully warm guide that actually makes sense whether you're redesigning a single room or reimagining your entire approach to living.

Investment in Your Home: The sort of book that pays dividends every time you glance at it, reminding you why you chose those spaces in the first place.

Product Details

What's Inside: A glorious exploration of Japanese architectural principles, design philosophy, and the gentle art of creating spaces that genuinely support how you want to live.

Format: Hardcover, lavishly produced and rather good to hold.

Perfect For: Interior enthusiasts, architects, designers, or anyone who suspects that less might actually be more and rather wants proof.

Add this quite the showstopper to your collection before it disappears from shelves. These sorts of beautifully crafted design books have a way of becoming rather hard to replace once they're gone.
SHIPPING + RETURNS


THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!


RETURNS

You have 14 days to return items.

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.

Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!

PAYMENT

We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay

SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!

All prices in lovely British pounds £ GBP, though international chaps will see converted prices.

Any payment pickle? We're here to help sort things out! Contact us

Sostter independent brands marketplace — discover extraordinary makers from around the world

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.

Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.

A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands

Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.

Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
