When you purchase authentic Sri Lankan products from 'Urban Island Home', you will not only be taking the essence of Sri Lanka home, but will also be empowering local artisans to continue their traditional livelihoods. This is

a not-for-profit initiative of the 'Design for Sustainable Development' Foundation supported by the AOD International Design Campus, with the aim of preserving Sri Lanka's craft heritage and uplifting artisan lives across the island. Our dedicated store is at 33 Duplication Road, R.A de Mel Mawatha, Colombo 04. We are open from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 6.30pm (Closed on Sundays and Poya Holidays).

There’s a quiet poetry in handloom. In the way it catches light, revealing the rhythm of each thread, each gesture of the hand that wove it.
It holds more than texture. It holds connection between artisan and designer,between intention and form,
and finally, between object and home.

A companion of care. An ally for the everyday.
Softly grounding, quietly enduring.

The beginning of the year is less about starting over and more about seeing clearly. An invitation to simplify, to clear the mind, align the direction, and move forward with intention. Choosing simplicity over noise, and building momentum slowly, honestly, and with purpose. The Urban Island handloom collection is a gentle reminder to take it slowly, to care for yourself, and to create a space where you and your loved ones can nurture one another and treat yourselves with attention and warmth.

The Dumbara Necklace is crafted from production leftovers, transformed with intention and care. This piece, together with others from our signature handloom collection, becomes a quiet expression of care. A ritual of beauty. Rooted in deep craft and thoughtful reuse, it honours what might otherwise be discarded and gives it lasting meaning. Luxury, not through excess, but through respect for material, process, and place.

Available at our Colombo store.

Presenting Ashan Isuru
Solo Exhibition “Taprobana”

“Taprobana is the story the world once told about Sri Lanka, now retold through my own gaze. Through lines, colours, and simplified forms, I reclaim this ancient name and reshape it into a personal narrative. What was once a foreign description becomes a language of memory, place, and identity”.

Featuring 12 works, the exhibition unfolds as a quiet dialogue between history and the present.

“Posters are usually quick visuals on walls, but what if they became something more? What if posters showed who we are by displaying images of our people, our culture, and our everyday beauty across Sri Lanka, changing how we see ourselves and how the world sees us?”
