Starting with a single vision in 1996, Stanley Lifestyles has evolved into a leading name in India's luxury furniture market, staying true to a mission of producing furniture that redefines beauty and functionality. Built on a foundation of European craftsmanship married to Indian sensibilities, the brand's journey reflects a blend of meticulous design, sustainable practices, and a commitment to quality, all driven by the relentless passion of its founder and Managing Director, Sunil Suresh.
The inception traces back to Suresh's experience of working with European luxury brands in leather garment manufacturing.
"I realised India did not have any luxury brands," he explains. This realisation marked the beginning of Stanley in 1996, initially producing custom leather car seats before gradually expanding into the realm of luxury furniture. Suresh's exposure to the world of high-end materials and design set him on a path to bring the sophistication of international luxury to the Indian market.
