Aurelia in the press
We've been featured in the publications we respect most — design-led, quality-obsessed, and skeptical of marketing speak. Here's what they've said.
Architectural Digest · May 2026
“The kind of furniture you hand down, not replace.”
— Margaret Langford, Design Editor
Dwell · April 2026
“Aurelia is redefining what direct-to-consumer furniture can be — honest materials, honest pricing, honest lead times.”
— Amanda Dahlgren, Senior Editor
The New York Times · March 2026
“A rare combination of design and durability at a fair price.”
— Tim McKeough, Style reporter
Kinfolk · February 2026
“Quiet, considered, and built to last — the antithesis of fast furniture.”
— Joanna Ebenstein, Contributing editor
Wirecutter · January 2026
“Our pick for the best modular sofa under $3,000 — the Aalto is the rare direct-to-consumer piece that delivers on the promise.”
— Christine Ryan, Lead reviewer
Monocle · December 2025
“A brand worth watching in 2026 — Aurelia's commitment to family-run workshops and honest materials is increasingly rare.”
— Robert Bound, Culture editor
