Company history

Soane was founded by Lulu Lytle and Christopher Hodsoll in response to the demand for architecturally inspired bespoke furniture and lighting. Its 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 Britain now makes over 500 designs, all produced in Britain. As well as the re-interpretations of exceptional 18th, 19th & 20th century originals, its collection of furniture, lighting, door handles, glass and silverware also includes many new designs all made with the same meticulous attention to quality.  Britain is rich in outstanding craftsmen practicing traditional skills such as glass-bending, the hand-forging of iron, the carving of Jurassic stone, the tanning and dyeing of fine leathers, cabinet making and traditional upholstery.  Soane has sought out the very best in order to continue this tradition of excellence into the 21st century and we are always delighted to research new materials and techniques for you.
