About STAG & MANOR
STAG & MANOR is a San Francisco-based modern home furnishings and decor shop with a global perspective and a humanitarian spirit. We source unique minimalist crafts and arts from all around the world as well as from the local community, and are persistently in search of artisans advancing the definitions of modern design while reinterpreting heritage materials and techniques. We aim to narrow the gap between these artisans and modern connoisseurs.
::: spirited modern design ::: refers to the layering of cultural traditions and beautiful raw materials with refined, minimalist forms and colors, bringing warmth and soul to minimalist design pieces. Integrating items from our SPIRITED collections into more prominent MINIMALIST selections creates greater balance in any decor and demonstrates the broader language of our world as a whole.
Our product offerings are decidedly stewarded for patrons with keen senses of modern trends, while our global supplier partnerships are built on the hope of contributing wealth opportunity to developing communities around the world as well as here in the Bay Area. As our business grows, so will our philanthropy.
Besides sourcing products from independent craftspeople and artists around the world which is a direct effort to infuse economic growth in those individuals’ communities, STAG & MANOR donates a percentage of customer purchases to a variety of charitable organizations.
Our current recipients of those donations are:
David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is today the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world and one of the pioneering conservation organizations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1920 "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States".

The ACLU works through litigation and lobbying and it has over 1,200,000 members and an annual budget of over $100 million. Local affiliates of the ACLU are active in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The ACLU provides legal assistance in cases when it considers civil liberties to be at risk. Legal support from the ACLU can take the form of direct legal representation or preparation of amicus curiae briefs expressing legal arguments when another law firm is already providing representation.

Since its foundation in 1966, the United States section, made up of over 350,000 members, of the nonpartisan organization has worked to free prisoners of conscience, oppose torture, and fight other human rights violations around the world.

You may have gathered from a few of our donation recipients that STAG & MANOR has a soft spot for the care and well being of animals. In addition to supporting the organizations above, we strive to minimize product materials derived from animals in our collection. You'll find little to no leather in our catalog. Instead, we favor plant-based and synthetic alternatives as much as possible.
You'll also find very little down feathers in our overall collection. The majority of our pillows are fluffed by a recycled plastic fiber fill made from recycled plastic bottles.
We're certainly not telling anyone how to live, but we've made the choice to minimize our contribution to the mistreatment of animals through our sourcing. We hope to source more and more products that further reduce any animal based materials in our catalog, so keep your eye out for fun, stylish, and new plant-based, cruelty-free modern decor and furnishing pieces ahead.
