I'm Rapha.

I'm Rapha, a German artist currently living in Lisbon. I initiated Kanela because I wanted to create a new creative platform for myself as well as other artists. People who share the same vision against overconsumption, low-quality materials and soul-less products.

All of our collections on Kanela are artist-led, grounded by real values, and finished with the best materials. We aim at embedding a modern-design approach into traditional production techniques to come up with entirely new — bold design ideas.

The Art of Living Well — Drop by Drop

I'm not interested in mass production. Each drop is intentionally limited. Not because of scarcity for its own sake, but because overproduction is what brought the world to its breaking point. I hate discounted sales events and I find it boring if everyone owns the same. My mission is to scale with creativity, not with waste and fake hype.
I see my drops as an invitation: to partner with likeminded, to respect resources, to live in harmony with nature, and to choose pieces that stay with you — because the future of our planet isn't about consuming more, it's about consuming with meaning.

Pre-order Production. Zero Waste.

I don't believe in overproduction — beauty loses its value when it becomes excess. Each Kanela piece is made to order, crafted with intention and patience. We produce in or near Europe, depending on the product, working only with partners who share our obsession for quality. Every item is created within a reasonable timeframe — always respectful of process and people. Pre-order means respect: for materials, for the makers, and for the world we live in.

Don't miss out.
