MILAN — Tan France, the star of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” and “Next in Fashion,” deepened his interest in interiors while building his dream home, a Salt Lake City Tudor estate, with his husband, Rob.
The media personality made his debut into furniture after his agent received a call from Singapore-based furniture Castlery, he told WWD. “They agreed to let me design whatever I wanted to, as opposed to selecting new colors and fabrics [for] what they already make, which was a major plus point for me,” he said.
On Thursday, Castlery launched the Castlery x Tan France Collection, which includes 18 pieces spanning living, dining, lighting, rugs, decor and accessories. The line blends France’s personal, multicultural perspective with Castlery’s focus on craftsmanship, materiality and accessibility. Key pieces include the Anika table lamp in handblown glass, the Kagan sofa, Anaya tea table, Tarin side and drink tables, Rumi accent chair, Rava sideboard and TV console, and the Avan Dining Collection, along with mirrors, vases, rugs and cushions. Materials include warm oak, travertine, carved wood and New Zealand wool upholstery. Born Tanveer Safdar, France grew up in a Pakistani Muslim household in South Yorkshire, England, and said the collection is emblematic of his background.
