Sanderson Design Group Contract is a collective of six quintessentially British interior brands that design and manufacture wallpapers, fine fabrics, trimmings, and richly pigmented paints for the contract sector. It is one of the few organisations that offers luxury interior furnishing products from solely owned companies, supported by a fully vertical integrated supply chain. The extensive portfolio also enables the Group to meet the stringent demands of the contract market worldwide.

With a legacy dating back to 1860, the Group maintains a treasured archive housing original documents, textiles, and printing blocks spanning back to the 16th century. This extensive historical reference point continues to inform and inspire its contemporary design studios today.

Underpinned by a strong UK manufacturing base, including the Anstey Wallpaper Factory in Loughborough and the Standfast & Barracks fabric printing factory in Lancaster, the Group delivers exceptional craftsmanship worldwide. From design hubs to dedicated showrooms in key destinations such as London, New York, Chicago, and Dubai, Sanderson Design Group serves an international community of interior designers and architects.
