In 1988 Andrew and Sarah Hills founded Porta Romana, a UK based atelier devoted to creating objects of beauty. Over the following 20 years their ethic has never changed, and has led to the creation of a body of work drawing on the finest skills of glassblowing, metalworking, sculpting and furniture making.
Porta Romana pieces can be seen in the world’s most beautiful interiors, including private homes, hotels and yachts. They feature regularly in the top Interior magazines, and can be seen in many design publications. Andrew and Sarah Hills tackle the question of Style by creating new and challenging designs. Their roots are embedded in a passion for the past, a love of materials and an instinct for shape and form. Their design ethos constantly evolves while remaining beyond fashion.
Porta Romana collaborate with some of the world’s leading artisans to develop their ideas. An obsession with detail, proportion, and material ensure that the creative process is never short, but always dynamic and rewarding. The finished pieces will have drawn on the talents of many individuals to create a unique, hand crafted work of profound beauty.
