Our Story
A closer connection to nature leads to a fuller, happier life. It is the foundation of everything we build, and the heartbeat of everything we make.
In a modern world engineered for distraction, simplicity is a radical act. We believe the antidote to constant noise is not an escape from daily life. It is a return to things that are real, tactile, and made with intent.
We strip away the superficial to focus on what actually matters. Honest materials, deep roots, and a slower way of moving through the world. This project was built from the ground up, shaped by wild places and hand-wrought craftsmanship, because the best things in life are simple, enduring, and meant to be shared.
NO BOUNDARIES
At Ria Dunn, we believe in making a conscious choice to bring the natural world into our homes, bodies, and persona through design pieces created with care, integrity and mystery. We design without the boundaries of an inner and outer world and focus on the dialogue we can create between the two.
Our intimate spaces, what we sleep in and what we wear are all second skins that, when created carefully with respect for certain values, can contribute to our quality of life and daily experiences.
"Throughout my life and work as a designer I have discovered that there are no actual boundaries between our inner and outer worlds."
ENVIRONMENTAL WELLNESS
We create experiences that connect you with the world around you, inside your home and out in the open. The spaces we inhabit shape our inner and outer well-being.
By forging a deeper bond with our surroundings and ourselves, we hope to foster better protectors of the nature we all depend on.
MATERIA
Creating meaningful things starts with the quality of our ingredients. We believe in returning to the origins of natural fibers and using them in their purest form. The imperfections intrinsic to natural elements make each piece unique, communicating genuine emotion and tactile sensation.
We celebrate those imperfect forms and seek to echo them through careful material selection, specialized dyeing, finishing, and the weaving of textiles.

DESIGNER & ARTISAN
Our design studio is based in Tuscany, Italy. Here, we combine the minimal and introspective DNA of designer Ria Dunn with the incredible know-how of local artisans and producers. We believe these relationships must be deeply nurtured. By remaining open to the craftsman, the designer can explore the creative process with greater depth, making this partnership critical to how we work. With nearly two decades of experience, we collaborate with a network of dedicated people to create our unique pieces.
Beyond our core collections, our studio frequently collaborates with other visionary brands to explore new ideas and create something unexpected. We are also building a global network of artisans, allowing us to research, design, and discover rich cultures throughout the world.
