Tan France, a prominent figure from *Queer Eye*, has ventured into the world of home furnishings with his debut furniture line in collaboration with Singapore-based brand Castlery. This 18-piece collection reflects France’s signature style, focusing on layering and personal expression rather than fleeting trends.
A Thoughtful Approach to Design
The collection spans various categories, including seating, dining, lighting, rugs, décor, and accessories. France’s philosophy centers on creating pieces that feel curated and personal, emphasizing craftsmanship and cultural references. “I honestly don’t see a huge difference between these two creative spaces,” France stated, highlighting the parallels between fashion and furniture design.
Cultural Inspirations
Developed over 15 months with Castlery’s in-house design team, the collection draws from France’s British and South Asian heritage. Each piece is designed to evoke memories and traditions, with influences from architecture and family rituals. For instance, the handblown Anika Table Lamp features a silhouette inspired by South Asian decorative motifs, while the modular Kagan Sofa reflects the intimate tea rituals of France’s upbringing.
Attention to Detail
France’s meticulous approach is evident in the Kagan Sofa, which underwent extensive testing to ensure it balances aesthetics with comfort. “There was so much testing involved to make sure that not only did it look chic, inviting, and singularly my point of view, but also that it was the most comfy, cozy sofa that doesn’t feel at all stuffy when sat on,” he explained.
Available Now
The Castlery x Tan France Collection is now available for purchase at castlery.com/us and in select Castlery showrooms. France believes that today’s homeowners are increasingly eager to create spaces that reflect their identities, a trend fueled by the inspiration available through social media.
