Australian Design House En Gold Finds a New Home in Houston

En Gold is an Australian design house that celebrates handcrafted artistry, natural materials, and furniture with soul. With the opening of its first U.S. showroom in Houston, Texas, a new chapter begins grounded in timeless design. We are excited to announce that a curated selection of CULTIVER pieces are now available in their Houston showroom, complementing En Gold’s dedication to considered living. To mark the occasion, we spoke with founder Steffanie Ball about the inspiration behind En Gold’s aesthetic, the vision for the showroom, and how a shared reverence for craftsmanship and natural materials sparked a thoughtful collaboration.

We warmly invite our U.S. based customers to experience the new space, where En Gold and CULTIVER come together in a shared expression of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

How would you describe En Gold’s style? What inspires it?

En Gold’s style is warm, textural, and considered. It’s a reflection of soulful design that tells a story, often of where it's made, who made it, and the natural elements it’s crafted from. Our pieces feel timeless rather than trend-driven, designed to live with you and gather meaning over time. Inspiration comes from traditional artistry, natural materials, and the places we’ve lived and travelled. There’s always a sense of calm and grounding in everything we create.

What was your vision for the Texas showroom and how did you want it to feel?

We wanted the showroom to feel like an extension of home — a place where people can slow down, explore, and connect with the tactile beauty of handcrafted design. Thoughtfully curated and layered with the soft textures of CULTIVER’s pure linen and natural finishes, every scent, sound, and surface is carefully considered to create a rich sensory experience of calm and warmth.

What can visitors expect to find at En Gold?

Visitors will experience a curated space that celebrates craftsmanship, soul, and intentional design. You’ll find our signature handcrafted stone and timber pieces alongside select homewares and objects that complement our aesthetic, including CULTIVER’s pure linen textiles. Every item tells a story of technique, materiality, and heritage. It’s a space where we hope people feel inspired, grounded, and connected.

Why did you choose Houston as the site for the new showroom?

Houston’s vibrant design community, warmth, and openness instantly resonated with us. It’s a city where creativity, culture, and innovation flourish, and we wanted to be part of that energy. Houston felt like the perfect place for our next chapter, with a deep appreciation for thoughtful interiors and a growing passion for meaningful design.

How does En Gold celebrate natural materials and traditional craftsmanship, and how does CULTIVER complement this vision?

At En Gold, our foundation is built on honoring traditional craftsmanship and the integrity of natural materials. Each piece is handcrafted, often using time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations. We work closely with artisans to celebrate their skill and heritage – crafting pieces that carry the soul and touch of human hands.

CULTIVER naturally complements this vision through their commitment to considered design and quality. Their pure linen textiles bring softness and a lived-in warmth that harmonizes with the organic textures of our stone and timber pieces. Together, our offerings tell a story of thoughtful, purposeful design – elevated, yet grounded in authenticity.

En Gold is celebrated for its timeless aesthetic and designs. How do you approach designing pieces that transcend trends and remain treasured over time?

Our approach to design is rooted in intuition and restraint. We don’t chase trends – instead, we design with a sense of calm, permanence, and emotional resonance. We draw inspiration from natural forms, traditional techniques, and the unique qualities of the materials themselves.

Every piece is intentionally pared back, allowing the beauty of the craftsmanship and material to shine. This sense of timelessness is about more than aesthetics; it’s about creating objects that people connect with and want to keep, not replace.

En Gold pieces are designed to be lived with and cherished for generations. What do you hope people feel or see when they inherit one of your pieces?

We hope they feel a sense of connection, both to the piece and to the person who passed it on. Each En Gold piece carries a story: of the hands that shaped it, the home it lived in, and the memories created around it.

When someone inherits one of our pieces, we hope they see more than just furniture. We hope they see a piece of art with history, care, and soul. A tangible expression of values passed down through time. Something that still holds relevance, beauty, and warmth for the next chapter of its journey.
