London-based online platform curating homeware from the UK’s best independent brands, Glassette has raised £1.2 million funding.

The seed round was led by Nigel Wray and a consortium of angel investors, including Stephanie Phair, Michelle Kennedy, Whitney Hawkings (CEO and co-founder, FLOWERBX), Peter Hawkings, Adam Levine (founder, HERO), and Fred Kooij.

The extra capital will enable the company to recruit and build the core team while focusing on growing its global audience by expanding into international markets, with a goal to launch in the U.S. market this year.

Going forward, the company will also continue to build its brand offering by sourcing bigger, global brands that share their values and ethos, while staying true to their discerning design-led curation.

Co-founded by Laura Jackson and Daniel Crow, Glassette was launched in November 2021 as a digital platform where consumers can discover new, bespoke, and beautiful homeware, hand-selected and sourced through the eyes of its founders.

The startup is also rolling out ‘original art kiosk’ this year to democratize the original art market for consumers.

Throughout the year, the platform will also reveal new curated products and a series of Glassette Editions: exclusive limited-edition designs created in partnership with brands and available to buy only at Glassette.
