Our Vision
Sylvan Reveries celebrates the timeless bond between nature, imagination, and wellbeing. Founded and designed by John Evans, our brand is devoted to inspiring people to spend more meaningful time in nature — to walk among trees, breathe deeply, and rediscover the quiet joy of the natural world.
Every design we create — from apparel to homeware to creative journals — is an invitation to reconnect with that quiet, restorative rhythm that modern life so easily drowns out.
The Time in Nature Theme
At the heart of Sylvan Reveries lies a simple belief: spending time in nature nourishes both body and mind. Our designs are not only artistic expressions but also gentle reminders to pause, wander, and restore balance. Whether it’s a walk in the woods or a moment spent gazing at wildflowers, these experiences ground us and cultivate true wellbeing.
Our Sub-Themes
👑 Mythology
Ancient stories remind us that the natural world has always been sacred. Goddesses like Artemis, Persephone, and Aphrodite symbolise courage, renewal, and harmony with the wild — qualities reflected in many of our designs. We blend classical motifs with modern minimalism to honour the enduring connection between myth and nature.
📚 Literature
From Shakespeare’s forests to the enchanted landscapes of Milton and Wordsworth, nature has long been a source of creative awakening. Our literature-inspired designs celebrate that poetic dialogue between human thought and the living world — reminding us that great words, like deep roots, grow best in fertile soil.
🌸 Wild Flowers
The quiet resilience of wildflowers — bluebells in the shade, dog roses in the hedgerow — captures the beauty of small things flourishing without artifice. These designs evoke hope, renewal, and the delicate ecosystems that sustain life itself.
🌳 Ancient Woodland
Woodlands are our oldest sanctuaries — places of mystery, refuge, and renewal. Our woodland-themed creations draw from the textures and silhouettes of oaks, ferns, and moss-carpeted paths to evoke the peace of walking beneath a living canopy.
Creativity and Cognitive Wellbeing
In addition to visual art, Sylvan Reveries is developing a range of puzzle books and creative journals designed to promote focus, mindfulness, and cognitive performance. These books combine engaging puzzles with reflective space — encouraging mental exercise in harmony with nature’s restorative calm.
Original Designs
All Sylvan Reveries designs are original creations, conceived and developed by John Evans under NetVista Ltd. Before release, each phrase and visual composition is carefully checked to ensure no prior usage or existing work resembles it. Every concept is wholly the product of our own imagination — not copied from, nor based upon, any other work.
