ST. James
A History of Tradition, Quality and Design
Founded in 1976, ST. James was born with the belief that the home is the most important place in people’s lives. We see the home as our sanctuary, our little island of comfort and well-being to shield us from the noise and stress of the outside world. We also strongly believe in the power of beauty to elevate our spirits, warm our hearts and help us lead a healthier, happier life. As such, our mission has always been to help make the home an ever-pleasant environment, where we can be surrounded by beauty and meaning everywhere we look. We do so by making beautiful, high quality, handcrafted design objects to entertain and decorate the home, always with a human touch. Breaking the Brazilian aesthetic standards of that time, St. James was a pioneer in the manufacturing of pieces with modern styles and clean lines. In less than 2 years, we were already selling our products overseas, to customers in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Ever present in our DNA, the combination between craftsmanship, quality and design helped St. James become a reference in luxury products for the home. We favor the talent and mastery of the people behind each product, through the balance between material, design and the technique of the craftsmen who work the metal. Innovation is also an integral part of St. James’s history in its many manifestations, be it through design, the combinations of materials, the multifunctionality of the pieces, the unusual metal finishes and partnerships that transcend the universe of home accessories. Our main vehicle, silver, has great symbolic power. It’s a material with a life cycle longer than most and that bridges the past – tradition, history – and the future, for its durability and the timeless design of the products. For us, the times we live in have highlighted the importance of the home and family and being surrounded by less clutter and more meaning. In a world where most things are meant to be disposable, our products offer a different approach, giving those who own them, the right to believe they will last forever.
