South + English is the brainchild of longtime partners and collaborators Palmer Linwood Smith and David Ebbetts. Established in 2019, the brand blends artisan craftsmanship, curatorial perspective, and product innovation into pieces designed to ignite a room, not merely fill it.

Both founders are seasoned furniture and design executives with deep experience in product development, artisan sourcing, and supply chain execution. They are also designers, curators, and artists. Their work reflects a practiced understanding of how to translate concept into collectible form—and how to bring that vision to life through distinctive showroom presentation.

English-inspired at its core, the South + English collection resonates strongly with the trade. The team relishes its longstanding relationships with designers, treating them more like collaborators. Now operating from their High Point flagship, the brand is more accessible than ever for designers sourcing distinctive pieces.

“As you know, we are based in High Point and we love supporting designers in our own backyard.” — Palmer Smith, cofounder

In addition to their chic showroom, South + English maintains a warehouse at 1314 Starr Drive in High Point, open by appointment and often stocked with floor samples and one-of-a-kind pieces. Known for their custom flexibility and strong trade service, the brand has no opening minimum order for designers.
