San Francisco: Our Home and Inspiration
San Francisco is more than just our headquarters; it’s the soul of our brand. Here, the raw beauty of nature meets modern design, creating a unique harmony that inspires everything we do. Surrounded by majestic landscapes and innovative architecture, we find endless inspiration to craft products that balance Earth’s natural allure with sophisticated design.
Who We Are
As passionate experts in natural stone, we saw a major issue in the construction industry: consumers were being overcharged for subpar materials and unknowingly contributing to an unsustainable cycle of environmental waste. Determined to make a change, we developed our groundbreaking thin-stone technology. By meticulously refining our natural stones to a delicate 1 mm thickness, we reduce the amount of raw material used by up to 80%—a change that drastically lowers waste and emissions. This innovation allows us to transport more products in fewer shipments and significantly speeds up installation times, all while delivering a superior product that’s eco-friendly and accessible.
However, working with traditional B2B channels came with its own challenges, particularly the layers of middlemen that diluted our mission. That’s why we created MIKOL—a lifestyle brand that brings natural stone into daily life, showcasing its beauty, durability, and versatility. With MIKOL, we’re not just selling products; we’re raising awareness of sustainable alternatives that preserve quality and reduce environmental impact.
At MIKOL, our goal is simple: to create elegant, environmentally responsible products that allow you to carry a piece of the Earth with you, wherever you go.
DESIGNWe are the kind of people you find at a coffee shop with MacBooks open and drawings spread across the table. A group discussing, work, trips, and adventures that we plan to embark on. Design is essential for a luxury fashion accessory company. And some of our greatest creative moments stems from happiness. |

Our Story
Why marble? Many wonder what makes this stone so special. For centuries, marble has symbolized sophistication, elegance, and luxury. Yet, due to its weight and the challenging, delicate process of shaping it, marble has traditionally been reserved for high-end furniture and architectural projects.
At MIKOL, we’ve developed a groundbreaking method to make marble accessible for everyday use, allowing us to incorporate it into practical, stylish accessories. This innovation marks our entry into the world of accessories and fashion. Each marble piece carries its own history, dating back centuries, letting our customers "take a piece of the world" and carry that story with them wherever they go.
