Egyptomania
Marking Soane Britain’s 25th anniversary, the new ‘Egyptomania’ collection draws on the richness of one of the world’s most ancient cultures. Spanning fabrics, furniture and lighting, the collection takes influences from thousands of years of Egyptian history, and includes a collaboration with the artist Yasmin Hayat, an expert in the art and geometry of the Middle Eastern and Arabic world.
Lulu’s interest in Egypt stretches back to her teenage years, when a visit there inspired her to study Egyptology and Ancient History at University College London. Since then, she has developed an abiding admiration for the architecture and design of the region, encompassing the art of the pharaonic dynasties, the influences of the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, the traditions of the Copts, and its latest incarnation as part of the Arab world.
