The name Lillian August is synonymous with a design philosophy that champions “Love How You Live,” creating spaces that are both compelling and supremely livable. What began as a small entrepreneurial textile company in the 1980s has blossomed into a global lifestyle brand, recognized for its exceptional fine furniture and interior design services.
A Signature Style: Blending Tradition and Modernity
Lillian August’s distinctive aesthetic is a masterful marriage of classical, traditional, and modern styles. This “new traditional” look is immediately recognizable for its seamless blend of periods and its spirited use of vibrant color and pattern. Drawing from her background as a fine artist and her extensive study in aesthetics and color theory, August’s collections elevate the home with a unique, aspirational feel that remains inviting and comfortable.
The product line is extensive, spanning multiple home furnishing categories. Customers can find everything needed to furnish a stylish and sophisticated home, including: Fine Furniture, from luxurious custom upholstery like sofas, sectionals, and chairs, to beautifully crafted case goods for the living, dining, and bedroom. They also offer Decorative Textiles, which includes high-quality decorative pillows, bedding, and fabrics that reflect the brand’s textile origins, and Home Accents such as wall art, rugs, lighting fixtures, and wallcoverings that complete the look with texture and artistry.
Family Legacy and Global Influence
The success of the Lillian August brand is also a story of family. Founded by Lillian August and her son, Dan Weiss, the company has grown and evolved, now encompassing three generations of design leadership with the addition of granddaughter, Eliza Weiss. This enduring family passion for fashion and interior design ensures the brand stays fresh and relevant, continually sourcing global influences and adapting to the changing home fashion market while maintaining its core principles of quality and timeless design.
Lillian August’s licensed collections are sold through premier furniture stores and websites worldwide, positioning the brand as a leader in the luxury home furnishings and design industry for over three decades.
