Fans of Aman may now enjoy the brand’s impeccable design credentials and much-loved aesthetic in the comfort of their homes with the limited edition bespoke furniture collections from Aman Interiors, a recently launched division to mark the iconic hospitality and lifestyle brand’s 35-year design heritage. 

First unveiled during Design Miami, the furniture collections, which included one with Aman’s frequent collaborator Kengo Kuma, feature furniture pieces that embody the brand’s trusted DNA of peace, understated elegance and quiet luxury, seen in its 35 hotels, resorts and residence developments in 20 countries.

“Design and architecture, including furniture design, have long been true passions of mine, and it was Aman’s elevated design aesthetic which first drew me to the brand as a guest,” says Vlad Doronin, chairman, owner and CEO of Aman Group, and chairman of Aman Interiors. “This multi-faceted business will provide direct access to an interior design team which is fully immersed into the world of Aman, both to facilitate the seamless furnishing of Aman Residences and Aman Hotels, as well as to bring bespoke furniture designs to the market, which have been created through the lens of the Aman experience.”
