During his lifetime Sir John Soane had a vision to stimulate debate and creativity through his collections. We continue this philosophy with Inspired by Soane: Brand Licensing.
We work with our Licensing Partners to create beautiful and unique products that are inspired by our vast collection. Current product ranges include interior design, home furnishings, garden ornaments, jewellery, ceramics and fashion.
We have high standards for quality and regard close collaboration between the Museum and our Licensing Partners' brands as key to success.
Licensed products promote awareness of the Museum and generate valuable income to support our work.
We encourage imaginative and creative product proposals from potential new licensees. Please contact our Licensing Team if you are interested in working with our collection to develop new products or ranges at 020 7440 4278 or enterprises@soane.org.uk.
