WHO WE ARE Sloan Miyasato is a multi-line wholesale showroom dedicated to providing distinctive residential and commercial furnishings to northern California’s vibrant interior design community. For more than 30 years we have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to making our galleries a showplace for an unparalleled portfolio of international products that embody innovation, craftsmanship, and style. We are equally passionate about exceeding the expectations of our clients at every turn by delivering an exceptional level of service that has become one of our hallmarks. OUR HISTORY In 1978 Sloan Miyasato opened its first San Francisco Design Center (SFDC) showroom at the original Ice House complex. The founders were Asian antique collectors with an extraordinary eye for the unique, the original, and the refined. When SFDC relocated to its current South of Market area, Sloan Miyasato became the first permanent tenant at The Showplace. Over the years, the highest-caliber lighting, fabrics, furniture, fine art, accessories, and floorcoverings were added to the showroom—securing Sloan Miyasato's place among the elite wholesale sources at SFDC. For three decades Sloan Miyasato has kept its finger on the pulse of the interior design scene and forged lasting relationships with the most prestigious showrooms and artisans across the country—and the globe. As a result, we have been able to consistently offer local designers and architects the most inspiring, exciting, and finest-quality products on the market. We are also invested in being a valuable resource to the community by hosting guest lecture series featuring visionary designers and making our galleries available to Bay Area design students—the very future of industry.

After graduating from The University of California Berkeley, with a double major in Art and French, I started designing a line of women’s clothing which eventually led to a business designing and making custom wedding gowns and evening wear. I’ve been sewing since I was ten years old and have always found great joy working and creating objects with fabric. In 1985 the interior soft furnishings business was launched as a collaborative endeavor with my designer husband Mark Chastain. In 1988 as a design team we participated in our first San Francisco Decorator Showcase. We designed a beautiful baby’s nursery which was published in magazines as well as used as the image for a greeting card. I was able to showcase the dressmaker details and fine sewing skills which have become our trademark. My involvement in the Decorator Showcase has continued every year since the first, collaborating with Willem Racké on several jewel box rooms and fabricating soft furnishings for many talented local designers. Our fabrication work has been published in many books and magazines, including House Beautiful, House & Garden, Elle Décor, and Southern Accents to name a few. I work with many designers from the San Francisco Bay Area and have established relationships with designers in Los Angeles, Dallas, Scottsdale, Seattle, and New York. Working with designers from around the country has given us national and international exposure. Our quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and over 25 years experience gives our clients confidence that their projects will be done on time, on budget, and to their specifications. We specialize in highend custom interior furnishings. We are accustomed to working with all fabrics and trimmings. We pride ourselves in the quality of our craftsmanship and dressmaker style to details. We offer fabrication services of all window treatments from: all styles of fabric shades including Roman Shades, Balloon Shades, Valances, Lambrikins, & Curtains. We also fabricate all styles of bedding from: Pillows, Duvets, Coverlets, Bedskirts, Headboards, & Tablecloths. Examples of bedding can be seen on the Ironies line of beds in the Kneedler-Fauchere showrooms in both San Francisco and Los Angeles.
