Introducing | Susan Ferrier Furniture Collection for Baker | McGuire

Where Earth Meets Emotion

Words by Daphne Thompson for Valley & Laurel

Some designers speak in lines. Others in colour.
Susan Ferrier? She speaks in atmosphere.

Her interiors are not merely seen—they're felt. Shadow and softness. Stillness and scale. A sensual pull that draws you in and doesn't let go. And now, with her debut furniture collection for Baker | McGuire, she brings that unmistakable signature to life in sculptural form.

“Furniture touches the body,” Ferrier says. “It holds you. It grounds you. It should feel like a conversation—intimate, generous, and completely personal.”

Modern interior decor with a textured table, gold vase with white flowers, abstract sculpture, and white cushion.

Unveiled for Spring 2025, the Susan Ferrier Collection is not just a milestone—it’s a culmination. Inspired by volcanic forces, ancient landscapes, archaeological forms, and her own inner stillness, this 72-piece collection is both grand and grounded. A study in contrasts—fluid bronze with honed stone, soft upholstery against raw edges—it speaks the language of legacy while whispering something entirely new.

The Designer Who Creates Worlds

To understand this collection is to understand Susan. An Elle Decor A-List designer, she is a woman of dualities: radiant and restrained, poetic and precise. She lives with intention. Travels with reverence. Sees not just with her eyes, but with instinct.

From her Ojai Valley retreat to the pages of Veranda, Ferrier creates interiors that hum with meaning. Her collection captures that same quiet force.

Luxurious living room with velvet armchairs, a round coffee table with a book titled "Inside Milan," and decorative items. A white console table with gold accents is in the background, decorated with a modern lamp and greenery.

"Design, for me, is emotional. It’s how something makes you feel. It’s not about impressing—it’s about immersing."

Volcanic Inspiration, Classic Forms

"I was fascinated by the power of the earth. How time and heat shape material. The cracks in volcanic rock, the flow of lava, the textures left behind by ancient civilisations—it all became part of the language."

Each name in the collection is a nod to history and topography: Fira, Teide, Otago, Akrotiri. The Lahar Sideboard reads like a geologic poem. The Fosser Bed channels volcanic fissures in sculptural pleats. The Pele Console gleams with ombre bronze and Namibia White marble, a tribute to the Hawaiian goddess of fire.

“This isn’t trend furniture. These are modern heirlooms. Pieces you live with for decades. That your children want to keep.”

The Intimate Art of Scale

The Lull Sofa is Ferrier’s meditation on stillness and space. Generously proportioned with a tufted bench cushion and leather-strapped bolsters, it feels like a quiet invitation to pause.

“It’s a place to land, to daydream. A piece that gives you room to breathe.”

This emotional spaciousness—rather than physical square footage—is the essence of her work.

"A room shouldn’t be filled with things. It should be filled with feeling."

Soft Metals, Strong Intentions

A lover of brutalist jewellery, Ferrier brought that same language of form to her collection. Bronze curves, mirrored edges, stone weight: all express contradiction and harmony.

Pieces like the Caldera Swivel Chair, Malia Bedside Table, and Onyx Table Lamp embody this richness—each a tactile story told in texture and restraint.

Susan, Unfiltered

Despite the gravitas of her work, Ferrier herself is disarmingly warm.

  • Scent of home: El Cadi Trudon candle

  • Design essential: Mirror

  • Dream dinner guests: Judge Judy, Lewis Hamilton, RuPaul

  • Design mantra: Take risk

“This collection is my heart. It’s where my stories live. My travels. My silences. My sense of wonder. I want people to feel that.”

Classic. Atmospheric. Elemental.

Those are her words. Spend time with the collection, and others arise: Soulful. Seductive. Monumental. Quiet.

This is not furniture to fill a room. This is furniture to define one.
