Autumn Sonata

Autumn Sonata is a design atelier bringing a new lens to archival, historic, and storied objects.

Lilli Elias founded Autumn Sonata in 2022. With a background in archival practice, she draws from her abiding passion for antique prints to develop the brand’s collections of modern home furnishings.

Working as archivists and designers, the team behind Autumn Sonata travels to uncover heirlooms hidden across bygone European estates, buried within dusty bookshelves, tucked into forgotten corners and re-contextualize them anew in imaginative, elegant forms.

Guided by both preserving the storied lineage of these historic objects and allowing them to fuel their current curiosities, they offer an evolving catalog that reflects this generative, reexamined relationship between intriguingly beautiful objects of any era.
