A celebration of the Karun Thakar Collection

Some of Soane’s most beautiful patterns are inspired by Karun Thakar’s remarkable collection of antique Asian textiles. When Soane co-founder Lulu Lytle met the renowned textile collector at his Portobello Market stall more than 20 years ago, they began a friendship that revolved around a deep mutual love of textiles and their history. Selecting designs to reproduce was a huge priviledge, bringing with it the chance to handle pieces that are both works of art and important pieces of history.
