The Story of
Somerset
A collection shaped by graceful silhouettes, thoughtful details, and the enduring beauty of woven craftsmanship. Discover the inspiration behind Somerset.
Every collection begins with an idea. For Somerset, that idea was to create something that felt at once familiar and fresh: a collection rooted in the traditions of woven furniture, yet interpreted with a lighter, more refined point of view.
Graceful lines, sculptural forms, and intricate woven details come together in pieces designed to feel collected rather than simply decorated. The result is a collection with an ease and elegance that feels distinctly Memoire Design™.
Somerset celebrates what we have always loved about woven furniture: its ability to bring warmth, texture, and character into a room while remaining timeless enough to live beautifully alongside pieces from every era.
“ Designed with a sense of history.
Made for the way we live now. ”
A New Chapter in Woven Design
Somerset draws upon the enduring appeal of traditional woven furniture while embracing a point of view that feels relaxed, sophisticated, and relevant for today.
Rather than following a single period or influence, the collection brings together familiar design ideas in unexpected ways. Curved silhouettes meet tailored proportions. Decorative weaving gives structure a sense of lightness. Classical forms are softened through natural texture.
It is this balance between tradition and reinvention that gives Somerset its character.
It’s All in the Details
Look closely at Somerset and the details begin to tell the story. The beauty of the collection lies not only in its silhouettes, but in the thoughtful woven elements that give each piece its own personality.
Scalloped edges, intricate patterns, graceful curves, and carefully considered proportions transform functional furniture into something more expressive.
These details are meant to be noticed slowly. They reveal themselves as a piece becomes part of a room and, ultimately, part of the life lived around it.
Graceful. Textural.
Distinctly Woven.
Sculptural silhouettes and thoughtful woven details give Somerset a sense of character while allowing each piece to live effortlessly within a collected interior.
Crafted With Character
Woven furniture carries evidence of the hand in a way few materials can. Each curve, wrap, and woven detail contributes to the personality of the finished piece.
Natural variation is part of that beauty. Subtle differences in texture and finish give handcrafted furniture a character that cannot be replicated by something entirely machine-made.
Somerset embraces those qualities, celebrating craftsmanship not simply as a method of construction, but as an essential part of the design itself.
Designed for the Collected Home
Somerset was never intended to live in a single type of interior. The collection was designed to feel at home among antiques and contemporary pieces alike, adding texture without dictating the room around it.
A sculptural chair can bring an unexpected note to a dining room. A woven side table can soften a more formal setting. A bench, basket, or wall bracket can introduce character to spaces both large and small.
That versatility is central to the collection. These are pieces intended to be layered into a home over time, becoming part of an interior that feels personal, evolved, and entirely its own.
A Collection Made to Endure
Trends may shape a moment, but the pieces we live with longest tend to possess something more lasting: beautiful proportions, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a sense of character that transcends a particular season.
Somerset was created with that idea in mind. It is a collection designed not simply for how a room looks today, but for how a home evolves over time.
Familiar yet distinctive, refined yet relaxed, Somerset is a celebration of woven design and the enduring beauty of pieces made with intention.
