Introducing
A Platform for Modern Hosting
Rooted in Mediterranean generosity and shaped by a modern sensibility, SOFRA celebrates the art of bringing people together.
Born from a love of design and the rituals of hospitality, we curate objects and ideas that transform the simple act of setting the table into something artful and full of meaning. Each piece is chosen for the stories it tells and the atmosphere it helps create.
The table has always been more than a place to eat, it is a place where ideas are exchanged, laughter is shared, and culture comes alive. SOFRA reimagines this spirit for today’s host: creative, curious, and always looking for ways to make people feel at home.
Introducing
Our Makers
Behind every SOFRA table are the makers who bring it to life. We collaborate with artisans, designers, and small studios from around the world. Like-minded people who share our belief that beauty lies in the details.
From hand-made ceramics, mouth-blown glassware to embroidered linens and sculptural candlesticks, each piece in our collection carries the imprint of its maker. These are objects made to be used, and cherished, not just displayed. Together, they tell a story of craftsmanship, culture, and care.
How we curate
We bring our makers’ work together through thoughtful curation and styling. On our website, you’ll find tableware collections arranged into table outfits, each designed to inspire and make hosting feel effortless.
Whether you’re setting the table for two or planning a celebration, SOFRA helps you create a setting that feels personal, layered, and full of character.
For those seeking something more bespoke, our Tablestylist service offers tailored guidance, helping you design your table using pieces you already own or new discoveries from our makers.
A Word From
Our Founder
SOFRA began as a personal obsession, a lifelong habit of collecting tableware from my travels and an endless fascination with the way people host. I’ve always loved the quiet theatre of setting a table: how every glass, plate, and candle helps create a mood and tells a story.
Growing up in Egypt, hosting was never just about food. It was an expression of care, a reflection of who we are. In Arabic, sofra means “table”, not just any table, but one prepared to receive. That meaning sits at the heart of SOFRA: a space built around the joy of bringing people together.
A well-set table is a quiet form of storytelling, every object, every gesture says something about how we gather and who we are.
Sahtein, and thank you for pulling up a chair.
