Francis Sultana is the go-to interior designer for international collectors, many of whom have major contemporary art and design collections. His unique ability to merge residential and commercial spaces with large-scale visual art, sculpture, and installation pieces has led to projects in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the US.
One of only a handful of UK designers to be featured in Architectural Digest US magazine’s annual AD100, Francis Sultana was cited as one of Wallpaper’s Top 20 Interior Designers and is listed on House & Garden and AD Italia’s Top 100. AD France included Sultana as a Grandmaster of Interior Design, placing him with the six other greats in the world of luxury interior design today. His properties are regularly featured in magazines all over the world.
He was the only British designer invited to join AD Collections in Paris and his work continues to garner him a global and very loyal following.
The atelier produces annual collections of bespoke and limited-edition furniture and textiles under the Francis Sultana brand. He designs furniture, lighting and accessories and has created key pieces for important historical interiors such as Spencer House and historical work with The National Trust. Sultana’s work is known for his use of noble materials such as bronze, rock crystal, straw marquetry and bespoke fabrics. The studio strives to support artisanal skills and techniques from around the UK and Europe throughout its work.
Sultana’s first hotel project for the Oetker Collection launched in June 2023, with the refurbishment of the iconic Hotel La Palma in Capri. Further collaborations on a series of projects will be announced later this year.
Francis Sultana has also collaborated on collections with some of Europe’s finest luxury brands including Bonacina and Ginori 1735 in Italy, Galerie Diurne in France and The Conran Shop & Savoir Beds in the UK with further new collections to be announced.
In 2019 Sultana published his first large format book, Francis Sultana: Designs & Interiors, published worldwide by Vendôme and edited by Bronwyn Cosgrave. The book celebrates the career of Sultana, as well as the designers and artists that have inspired him throughout his life. A new book is currently in production with Rizzoli and charts Francis Sultana’s custodianship of King Henry’s Hunting Lodge, the landmark historic house and garden.
