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.

Porta Romana’s Head Office is in Surrey, England.

The Sales Team provide an unrivalled level of service, and work with many significant designers both here and internationally.

The Painting Studio employs a team of skilled artisans who have an extensive skill base, and relish creating new finishes. Likewise, the assembly and production departments rely on individuals with strong technical knowledge and skills.

The people responsible for getting the product to you, in perfect condition are Lee Robinson (Operations Director) and Alison Milam (Commercial Director).

The UK Showroom is at The Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. On show are the Newest Collections, and an extensive range of other products and finishes.

In 2008 Porta Romana was launched in America, with the help of Jack Bentley (USA Sales). The Collection is now distributed by the finest showrooms in all the major US Markets.

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.
