Slowing Down. Living Well. (And Having Fun Doing It.)
In a world that glorifies hustle, we celebrate the power of slower moments. At Slowdown Studio, we believe that even Tuesday morning toast deserves a backdrop of art. We're here to help you savor the in-between—with high-quality products that fuse contemporary design, comfort, and a little bit of cheek.
What began in Los Angeles with founder Marc Hendrick is now a globally-loved brand led by Australian duo Jacob and Sarah-Jane Leung. Together, we champion a modern lifestyle rooted in creativity, intentionality, and joy. Our collection of practical products — from baby blankets to woven throw blankets to homewares— transforms daily rituals into mini moments of magic.
Art for Every Day
Why hang art on a wall when you can drape it over your sofa, curl up in it, or lay it out under a tree? We collaborate with a variety of artists from around the globe to create stunning blankets, puzzles, and home goods that blend form and function with flair.
Each item begins as individual artistry – a one-of-a-kind piece reimagined as something tactile, touchable, and totally usable. Whether it’s a Mini Blanket for your favorite nook or a bold throw that doubles as a statement piece, our designs invite you to live with art, not just admire it.
Creative Collaboration at Our Core
At Slowdown, we don’t just work with artists—we celebrate them. Each of our product launches is the result of a deeply creative partnership, where the artist’s vision is honored and amplified through innovation in design.
We look for creators with a strong sense of self and a love for graphic design, bold color, and playful perspectives. The result? Pieces that feel fresh, surprising, and undeniably you. No mass production. No watered-down versions. Just pure, unfiltered collaboration.
Intentional Living, Designed to Last
We’re not here to clutter your space. We’re here to elevate it. Every product in our collection is made with intention—focusing on quality over quantity, sustainability over shortcuts, and art over algorithms.
Our throws are crafted from recycled cotton or blends designed to stand the test of time. That means less waste, more beauty, and a deeper connection to the things you choose to live with.
Design That Tells a Story
At Slowdown Studio, every item has a story to tell. Maybe it's inspired by a memory, a sketch, or the vibe of a faraway place. Maybe it speaks to a part of you that craves boldness. Whatever the source, we weave story and soul into every thread.
Our pieces are equal parts art and personality—always with a touch of the unexpected. This is design with character. Not perfect, not polished. Just real, radiant, and joyfully human.
Sustainable & Ethical Production
We partner with family-run mills in the USA to weave our textiles, using recycled yarns wherever possible. These are places that value craftsmanship, care, and the kind of quality that lasts.
We're proud to say our process is as artful as our product—from the first sketch to the last stitch. Every decision we make is rooted in respect: for people, planet, and the power of beautiful, useful things.
Small Runs, Made to Last
You won’t find our blankets stacked in every big-box store. And that’s the point. We believe in small-batch production that offers you something special. Our limited runs mean less waste, more meaning, and a better shot at that “where did you get that?” moment.
Because good design should be personal. Not mass-produced.
Plastic-Free Shipping (Because Details Matter)
We treat every order like the little design gift it is. That means plastic-free packaging, 100% recyclable materials, and protective cotton dustbags for your textiles. It’s all part of our belief that sustainability shouldn’t stop at the product—it should extend to how it reaches you, too.
Risk-Free Returns (Because Vibes Matter)
We get it. Sometimes you need to see a piece in your space before you know it’s right. That’s why we offer 30-day returns on all orders. Whether it’s a throw that doesn’t vibe with your couch or a blanket you changed your mind about, we’re here to make things easy.
Because design decisions should come with breathing room.
Care Instructions That Keep It Simple
We believe artful shouldn’t mean high-maintenance. All our blankets—including baby blankets, throws, and picnic styles—are designed to be as low-effort as they are high-style. Just cold wash, gentle cycle, and line dry. Easy.
Your Slowdown Studio piece will age as gracefully as your taste in furniture.
From LA to the World: Creatively Led, Globally Loved
From California sunshine to Aussie soil, our pieces now live in homes from Berlin to Brooklyn, Tokyo to Toronto. We’ve grown from a passion project into a favorite brand for design-minded folks everywhere.
But through it all, our ethos hasn’t changed: live slowly, design boldly, keep it playful.
Make Space for What Matters
The Slowdown Studio difference is more than what we make—it’s how it makes you feel. Inspired, intentional, and ready to give your everyday moments the attention they deserve.
We’re here for the nap breaks, the dinner parties, the wild ideas that show up in your sketchbook. We’re here for the home that feels like you.
And we’re so glad you found us.
