Soane UK Visits the USA

I loved Soane Britain the minute I saw their bespoke English furniture catalog but it's always hard to order from a company when you can't see their products in person.  Which is why I am excited to announce that Soane has just opened a pop up shop in the 1stdibs space at the NYDC building.  They will be in town through May 20th and will be selling every piece off the floor so they don't have to ship it back to the UK.  It was such a treat to tour the space and meet the founder of Soane, Lulu Lytle, and her team who could not be nicer.  I especially love nautical inspired pieces and their lighting collection which is wired for the US.  They are also looking for a permanent space in New york but until then, I highly you suggest you check them out before they go back across the pond.

We received some tear sheets in the office the other day from a English company called Soane that I immediately thought must be somehow associated with Sir John Soane but turns out is not, though it might be possible they were inspired by him. Soane was actually founded by Lulu Lytle and Christopher Hodsoll in response to the demand for architecturally inspired bespoke furniture and lighting. "Our aim is to combine the superb design and workmanship of the most exciting antique pieces, with the highest quality British craftsmanship and the flexibility of furniture made to your specific requirements."

Soane produces copies of exceptional 18th, 19th & 20th century originals, and their collection of furniture, lighting, door handles, glass and silverware also includes many new designs all made with the same meticulous attention to quality in Britain. I was especially delighted by the interiors on their website. Hope you enjoy them too. Cheers!
