The story of Decorasian - my personal trip
Professional start and meaning search
I am Stephan, founder and owner of Decorasian - and the history of this brand is also my very personal journey. After my studies, I initially worked in the economy. But the more I immersed in this world, the more I felt that I was missing something: meaning, authenticity and the feeling of really creating something valuable with my work.
The world tour (2008)
In 2008 I finally pulled the ripcord and went on a trip around the world - first to Australia, then further through Southeast Asia. What was intended as a break became a turning point in my life. I dipped a fascinating cultures of this region, met inspiring people and got to know the beauty of traditional craftsmanship. It was not only the aesthetics that captivated me, but also the stories behind every handmade piece - stories of ability, dedication and cultural identity.
First steps in online trade
In me, the desire not to break this connection to Southeast Asia. I wanted to find a way that made it possible for me to return to the region regularly, but at the same time to build something meaningful - something that bridges beats between worlds. This is how my first small online trade with products that I bought on site was created - first above all textiles.
Foundation of Decorasian (2019)
Over time, my idea continues. I wanted to sell more than just products - I wanted to convey values. In 2019 I finally founded Decorasian, a brand that embodies everything that I believe in: authenticity, sustainability and cultural appreciation. Our products are not just decorative objects - they are an expression of real craftsmanship, made from natural materials such as seagras, water hyacinth or bamboo, under traditional conditions and in close cooperation with local companies and village productions.
vision
My vision is to offer home accessories that not only look beautiful, but also tell a story. Products that enrich the home and at the same time make a contribution to more conscious consumption. I would like to show with Decorasian that it is possible to act responsibly - with respect for people, the environment and tradition.
mission
Our mission at Decorasian is clear: We create a platform for high-quality, handmade residential and household items from Asia- inspired by real craftsmanship, supported by fair partnerships and designed for people who want a nice and conscious home.
Decorasian today
For me, Decorasian is much more than a company. It is my contribution to a world in which appreciation, quality and sustainability are more important - and an invitation to everyone to be touched by the soul of Southeast Asia.
