Penny Lomas - Furniture & Object Atelier

Thoughtfully edited furniture, objects, and antiques; selected slowly, released sparingly.

About the Atelier

Penny Lomas is an interior decorator and antique dealer based in Perth, Western Australia. Her work sits at the intersection of interiors, objects, and material culture - guided by an instinct for what endures and a curiosity for what feels quietly unexpected. 

Growing up between England and Australia, Penny was surrounded early by antiques, architecture, and European domestic interiors. A long-standing immersion in ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and upholstery continues to shape how she understands space: not as something to be filled, but as something to be composed.

This atelier operates through small, inventory-based drops rather than constant production. Each release is intentionally limited and tightly edited. Objects are sourced slowly and selected for their architectural presence, material honesty, and ability to hold their own in a room - adding tension, texture, or weight rather than simply decoration.

A Considered Eye

The pieces Penny selects span eras and origins, but they speak the same visual language. She is drawn to materials with history and substance - ceramic, stone, iron, glass, fabric - and to details others might overlook: a seam, a weld, a curve that stops her mid-scroll.

Many pieces are unmarked or anonymous. Some are rare in the traditional sense; others are rare because they resist easy categorisation. Names, labels, and prestige are never the deciding factor. What matters is whether an object feels resolved, confident, and capable of ageing beautifully.

Selection is the work. For every piece offered, many more are rejected.

How the Collection Works

Objects are released in small monthly drops on the 1st. When something sells, it is gone - making room for what comes next. Pieces that remain are not leftovers, but objects waiting for the right home, the right room, or the right moment.

This is not fast design, trend-led sourcing, or volume buying. It is a slower, more deliberate way of collecting - for people who want to live with objects rather than cycle through them.

A Note on Intention

Penny is not interested in ornament for ornament’s sake, reproductions, or obvious choices. The atelier exists for those who are instinctively drawn to pieces that feel different, quietly confident, and sometimes a little weird.

If you’ve ever walked into a room and known something was right without needing to explain why, this way of seeing may feel familiar.
