Lillian August is a luxury home furnishings and interior design brand based in Connecticut that specializes in custom, American-made upholstery. Founded in 1988 by Lillian August and her son Dan Weiss, the multi-generational family business operates as both a manufacturer and a comprehensive lifestyle brand. Their catalog spans everything from handcrafted seating to licensed textiles, wallcoverings, and home accessories.
The company's aesthetic is rooted in English Country design but has evolved into a distinct "New Traditional" look. Collections frequently blend archival references with casual and masculine elements, utilizing bold colors and glamorous silhouettes. Notable pieces include the Vintage Roundtop Collection, inspired by European antiques, alongside signature seating like the tufted Chesterfield-style Daniel sofa and the Art Deco-influenced Santiago sofa.
A significant portion of their custom furniture is built in North Carolina workshops. Pricing reflects the brand's premium positioning in the market. Fabric sofas generally start around $4,500, while their high-end leather counterparts, such as the Wright Leather Sofa, retail upwards of $10,000.
