Anbôise, Crafted and Curated Interiors
This article contains affiliate links.
Founded in 2020 by interior designer Annabelle Holland and her husband Anthony Everard, Anbôise was born out of a shared passion for artistry, heritage, and craftsmanship. Conceived during the quiet of lockdown, the brand has grown into one of the UK’s most distinctive voices in interiors, blending classical inspiration with contemporary sensibility. Its name pays homage to Charles II d’Amboise, an ancestor of Holland and a patron of Leonardo da Vinci, symbolising the brand’s mission to unite design and craftsmanship in a way that resonates with Renaissance ideals while remaining entirely modern.
Vinci Sofa
At the heart of Anbôise lies a devotion to heirloom-quality furniture. Every sofa, armchair, bench, and headboard is designed by Holland and then handmade in the UK by skilled craftspeople. These are not pieces created for fleeting seasons, but for a lifetime - constructed from seasoned hardwoods, hand-tied steel springs, and sumptuous feather and down cushions. The Vinci Sofa, for example, is a masterpiece of proportion and comfort, carefully crafted to order and destined to be passed down through generations.
Cushions
Alongside its larger furniture, Anbôise offers a rich world of soft furnishings and accessories. Cushions, throws, and quilts are produced with the finest materials - Italian velvets, Belgian linens, hand-blocked prints, and delicate silk trims - all chosen to bring a sense of depth and texture into the home. The accessory collections continue this philosophy of thoughtful design, with lighting, rattan lamps, marble accents, and decorative objects crafted from natural materials such as cashmere, horn, cane, oak, and stone. Each piece carries both a sense of beauty and of substance.

The vision of Anbôise extends beyond new design to embrace history. Their curated collections of antiques, rugs, and art speak to a love of patination, originality, and the personal stories behind objects. With over fifty years of combined expertise in sourcing antiques, the team selects pieces of enduring character, while the rug collection celebrates Persian craftsmanship - hand-knotted works of art that often take years to complete. The brand’s approach to art is similarly thoughtful, sourcing directly from artists studios and emphasising the narratives and techniques behind each work.
This holistic vision has not gone unnoticed. Homes & Gardens has praised Anbôise for its blend of contemporary design and classical craftsmanship, while The English Home has described the brand as a true proponent of British skills and creativity. Country Homes & Interiors has admired its ability to make a home feel curated rather than merely decorated, and SheerLuxe has highlighted the layered quality of its designs, which give a home a sense of evolution and depth. Even the Good Web Guide has celebrated the brand for its timeless aesthetic and craftsmanship, admiring the power of its imagery and storytelling.

What makes Anbôise stand apart is the way it weaves together past and present. It is not only about individual items of furniture or accessories, but about creating an interior world that feels authentic, cultivated, and lasting. Each piece - whether a hand-crafted sofa, a Persian rug, or a centuries-old antique - is chosen to complement the others, encouraging homeowners to create spaces that are both lived-in and elevated.

In essence, Anbôise is more than a design label. It is a philosophy of interiors that champions craftsmanship, honours history, and embraces artistry. By offering pieces that are both beautiful and enduring, the brand ensures that homes become more than decorated spaces - they become stories, layered with meaning and designed to stand the test of time.
