Sofas & Stuff

Our creative relationship with the Victoria and Albert Museum has taken us on a journey across both continents and centuries, from the orchard and market garden origins of the museum’s Kensington site to the Coromandel coast of southeast India in the age of the Mughal emperors. Each collection draws inspiration from objects and designs in the V&A’s archives, weaving together strands of history to bring the beauty of the past into modern interiors.

Come with us as we spend a day at the Victoria and Albert Museum If you’re passionate about art and design, The V&A Museum is the perfect place to spend a few hours. We are captivated by their remarkable galleries and recently had the chance to experience ‘The Great Mughals’ exhibition, featuring two very special textiles that inspired our Threads of India fabric collections. No trip to the V&A is complete without a cup of tea and a slice of cake in the beautiful Gamble Room - whilst soaking in the architectural wonders around us. Did you know that the V&A’s trio of refreshment rooms made history as the world’s first museum to offer a public restaurant?

It was such a delight to sit down with Elizabeth Metcalfe, Features Editor at House & Garden Magazine and author of New English Interiors. One of the beautiful homes featured in Elizabeth's book is a stunning centuries-old red sandstone farmhouse in Somerset, which also served as the backdrop for our Threads of India Opulent Velvets collection, in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum.
