About
Welcome to Sāthē. We are a British company producing high concept, design-led furniture, lighting and interior products that enrich both commercial and residential spaces.
Our work champions creativity, comfort, collaboration and community because we believe great things can happen when people come together.
‘Sāthē’ - Together in Meaning & Making
Pronounced Saa-THay, Sāthē is an Indian word meaning 'together'. Drawn from the British-Indian heritage of our founder, Hemal Patel, the word perfectly reflects his vision for the company - to create thoughtful pieces that bring together people, places, cultures, ideas, processes, materials…
Creating with Intent
We craft pieces that foster connection. They facilitate spaces that welcome, where groups meet, new ideas take shape and collaborations flourish.
Our approach is fastidious, through a deep understanding of materiality and processes, the psychology of our audiences, and how to affect positive change… and our output is a resolute collection of pieces that are considered, engineered, avant-garde and built to resonate.
Beyond Furniture
Sāthē brings a sense of poetry to the everyday object. Each piece tells a story, of texture, tension and belonging. They move beyond functionality and carry a narrative, a history and a future. They are purposeful yet striking, practical yet evocative, aspirational yet grounded. They help to shape our environments, to reflect our identities and to enrich our lives. They move beyond the tangible, they are experiential.
Exacting Detail & Commitment to Craft
Quality is non‑negotiable at Sāthē. Our in-house teams and our network of expert makers across the UK and EU ensure material integrity, precise fabrication and quality assurance at every level of production. Our pieces meet or exceed commercial durability and safety standards, without compromising artistic depth.
Flexible by Design
Whether you’re seeking full bespoke commissions or subtle tweaks to collection pieces, we make customisation seamless. Choose different colours, finishes, fabrics - or even supply your own - and we’ll craft with clarity and care.
Sustainability with Substance
Every decision we make - material, finish, supply chain - is grounded in a long-term vision. All Sāthē pieces are:
- Crafted from responsibly sourced hardwoods
- Finished with environmentally safe coatings
- Made in small batches to reduce waste
- Built to last across decades of use
Sustainability isn’t a label. It’s our default setting.
