About

PREVALENT PROJECTS

We founded Prevalent Projects, a modern home store in Mill Valley, CA, in 2018. We specialize in a Japanese/Scandinavian aesthetic with a focus on quality, craftsmanship and sustainability.

OUR LINE

We have recently released our own line of furniture: Prevalent Projects Originals. Each piece is handmade, sustainably sourced, and non-toxic. We work with local artisans, who create durable, custom pieces from FSC-certified, rift-sawn white oak or walnut. Browse the site to view our existing designs or contact us for a custom order.
