"Only&Co. provides consultancy & creative direction for your interior projects, through designed and crafted furniture and lifestyle products."
We strive to be a benchmark of excellent, modern design and beautiful craftsmanship, creating a culture that celebrates nature, people, and sustainable living. It remains our passion to create meaningful spaces and products that beautify the world into an exceptional place for both our clients and the nature surrounding us.
Our design senses have been shaped and challenged by living and working on both mediterranean and tropical islands, where the landscape, weather, culture and traditions have influenced how we think and feel about each design and project we undertake. We enjoy combining elements of European and Asian styles, enchanted by our vision of a new ‘Island Modernism’ design fusing the best of both these worlds.What defines this for us is both style and function. The style comes from using local materials, craft and influences fused with our own contemporary language of a certain geometry, natural elements and detail. The function or use of design in the tropics and the mediterranean has much to do with practicality and comfort. These climates will always soften even the hardest features or characters.
When we use something, we appreciate the subtleties of texture, shape, colour, even its temperature. We enjoy the comfort, utility, and sensations it provides. It is the connection with and experience of those nuances that make our designs so special.We employ craftspeople who are experts and provide them with the time and tools to do their best work. The result is furniture with an extra measure of refinement, a quality that becomes more evident with each passing day. We recognize our craftsmanship in an object’s functionality and durability. Developing craftsmanship in our work is the key to escaping those things that are less desirable in the business we’re in. It is the key to create furniture that rises above the mediocre and average, and it is key to grow as the benchmark of good, modern design and craftsmanship in Sri Lanka and the Balearic Islands, where we craft our designs locally.
Passionately driven to create from a place of inspiration and integrity. Evolving an idea from imagination to outcomes that emotively connect people with place, product and time.
Sensuous, beautiful, sustainable. Our craftwork is among the finest on the island. We consider every texture, nuance and detail from the way it looks to how it feels.
We champion individual expression, connection between people, spaces, humans and our natural world - creating life with meaning and feeling.
Our natural world is our biggest resource. We respect our relationship with our planet and it’s resources. We are committed to sustainable practices to safeguard the future of our natural world.
"No other furniture designers on the island encompass the same scope and quality - from concept and craftwork to delivery and aftercare."
We focus on understanding human needs and desires and aligning this with the practicalities of craftsmanship. We think deeply about the experience of living in a space with a piece of furniture. From this we develop characteristics, features and feelings that promote a holistic experience.
We only create unique designs.The spaces around you at home or work are expressions of your personality. We work closely to define, design and craft really special pieces, and these in turn make your spaces unique.
We only make what the world needs. Everything we create is made with its lasting use in mind and most is made to order. We strive to be a benchmark of enduring individuality in an era of mass production.
We only make sustainable decisions. Increasingly, every material we use is from a sustainable source. We go to great lengths to minimise wastage and improve the design choices.
We only source ethically and responsibly. You can track and trace the source of all our materials and see how little is wasted. All our furniture is designed to comply with laws and regulations around the world.
We only craft by hand. Spain and Sri Lanka, where we have our roots, are well-known for their handcraft skills passed down through generations of artisans. We’re proud to work with some of the most talented people on these islands.
Only use the finest materials. More than being simply beautiful, we choose materials for the subtleties of their texture, colour, and feel. For us, it’s all about the quality of their connection to you.
“Our collaborative, transparent and creative process is how we deliver each successful design, to not only make what you need, but to create what you desire.”

Meet Maximilian von Stillfried – the passionate businessman who brings a wealth of expertise and enthusiasm to Only&Co where his desire for ’business for good’ and love for nature and craft flow together beautifully.
After an expansive career in corporate management for high-profile businesses across Asia and Europe, Max found his calling with Only&Co.
