About STELLAN
Women-owned, family-run, rooted in the coast.
A home goods boutique and an interior design studio, built to honor the traditions of a working waterfront and the makers who keep them alive.
Rooted in a working waterfront.
Portland, Maine is a community where the tides set the pace. Fishermen, dockworkers, artists, and makers coexist here in a balance of industry, creativity, and tradition, and the working waterfront is the Old Port's heartbeat. STELLAN was established to honor those traditions and the people who support this way of life.
We keep a small, considered shelf of pieces made to last, and we design the rooms they belong in. What we carry is chosen for how it wears and where it comes from, from makers we know by name. Nothing here is meant to be replaced in a year.
We are a women-owned, family-run studio, founded by Erica Biordi and Stephanie Peters. We run the shop and the design practice the way we would want them run for us. Honestly, and without rushing.

What We Believe
Sustainability, the whole of it.
We are a collective of artisans committed to sustainability, and not only the environmental kind. We hold ourselves to it in four ways.
Environmental
Natural materials, made to last, from makers who treat their materials and their place with care.
Social
The people of the working waterfront, and a shop that gives them a reason to gather. Everyone is welcome to sit a while.
Economic
Supporting local artisans and small makers, and doing business in a way that keeps this community whole.
Cultural
Honoring the traditions of the Old Port and the craft that has always lived here, and carrying them forward.
The Shop & The Studio
Two halves of one idea.
Be kind. Use your manners.
No matter what.
It is on our packaging, in our footer, and how we try to run the place. Come see us in Portland or Rehoboth Beach.
