Mindful by Choice
Samved Living
Suhm-vaid /sʌm-veɪd/ (rhymes with “made”)
In Hindi script, it is written as: संवेद लिविंग
In Hindi, Samved comes from the word संवेदना (Samvedna).
- सम् (Sam) together, complete, integrated
- वेद (Ved) knowledge, awareness, knowing
It comes from Sanskrit roots with minimal change. It relates to empathy, sensitivity, awareness and the ability to feel and understand. It reflects an emotional intelligence and the capacity to be aware of others and the world around us.
What It Means for Us
At Samved Living, the name reflects our philosophy:
Empathy for the people who make.
Empathy for the materials we use.
Empathy for the planet we share.
Samved is awareness in action, being mindful by choice.
Small-batch pieces,
made from reclaimed textiles
Samved pieces are designed to be used, loved, repaired, and kept for years.
We partner with small, ethical makers and artisan-led studios, and prioritise handmade, small-batch work and reclaimed materials. We choose pieces that are rooted in craft, not mass production.
Each piece is part of a limited, one-of-a-kind run, shaped by what was saved from waste.
