Inspiration Behind The Brand: Anthropologie

Inspiration behind the brand - Anthropologie

Anthropologie is a destination for the creative and worldly. Our mission has always been to surprise and delight with unexpected, distinctive finds for your home and wardrobe. We source and craft all of our products with care, offering an expansive, carefully curated collection to inspire everyone to live beautifully.

ufurnish.com Co-Founder and CEO, Deirdre Mc Gettrick, sat down with the AnthroLiving Buying Team, to learn more about the inspiration behind the brand.

Q1. Anthropologie has grown into a one-of-a-kind destination for those seeking a curated mix of unique items, could you tell us a bit more about the vision of Anthropologie?

Anthropologie is passionate about collaboration, and are proud to nurture partnerships with both established and upcoming artists to bring our customers unique, covetable pieces to treasure. Our buyers and designers travel the world to uncover special products and to collaborate with talented artists. The result? A unique assortment that includes home, clothing, accessories, beauty, gifts and more, with influences ranging from vintage to global. Our teams have a commitment to creativity, passion, and entrepreneurship but hope our success lies at keeping the customer at the heart of everything we do.

Q2. Every one of your products is so unique and beautiful, could you tell me a little bit about some of your bestselling interior products?

Our Gleaming Primrose Mirror is inspired by the grand style of French Chateaus. The beautifully sculpted shape adds a bohemian, vintage touch to the abode.

Our Fern Collection consists of our bestselling cabinet, plus sideboard, chest of drawers and bedside table. Luxuriously crafted from durable ash wood and fitted with gleaming tempered glass, this sophisticated range makes a stunning statement in any space.

We have a gorgeous selection of inlay furniture that adds delicate detailing and instant luxury to any space.

In a wide range of fabrics, our Brooke Chair is the dining chair everyone wants to sit on at a dinner party. Crafted in Italy from FSC certified beech wood, this chair lends a serene touch to any dining room.

With a whimsical motif and a plush pile, the Octavia Rug brings endless charm to living rooms and bedrooms alike.

Featuring a pleated paper shade, the Harriet lighting collection is both visually intriguing and elegant.

Q3. What do you think the ufurnish.com community will love most about your products?

Expect the unexpected! Taking inspiration from the worlds of fashion, art and entertaining, Anthropologie are committed to offering our customers signature products and unmatched service.

Q4. You have some amazing collaborations and partnerships with established and up and coming artists. What further collaborations can we expect from you in the coming months?

We currently have some gorgeous textiles, outdoor cushions and dinnerware by Ellen Merchant. They are the perfect injection of pattern to brighten up your summer!

Our collaboration with Californian interior designer Amber Lewis features furniture, lighting and rugs in a laidback and inviting style. The Curved Sofa in Belgian linen is a wonderful centrepiece to a living room, particularly paired with the Persian rug.

Keep your eyes peeled for some new collaborations that we have planned for Autumn/Winter too, we hope you will be as excited as we are!

Q5. Your made to order collection is just fantastic, can you tell us a little more about this?

We recently launched a wonderful selection of 12 different sofas that are all handmade to order by skilled craftspeople in Nottinghamshire, England. With over 60 different fabrics and sizes to suit all homes, we have over 1500 options that you can choose from. 

Within our range we have eco fabrics made from recycled materials, alongside show stopping floral prints and pared back quality cotton linens.
