The Heart Behind SOBU

SOBU is a family-run business, built with heart and a deep love for what we do. Founded by Laleh and Alessandro Latini, SOBU is unlike the big-box retailers—we care—about our designs, our materials, and most of all, our customers. Every piece we create is personal, and so is the experience of shopping with us. No corporate gimmicks, no impersonal service—just a small, passionate team dedicated to making beautiful, lasting furniture and real connections.
