Our Story

Underwood & Company began long before it had a name.

Victoria Underwood grew up in a home that did not feel safe, and rarely felt comfortable. At around twelve years old she started working, and with the first money she earned she bought something for her bedroom. Then something else. Piece by piece, she changed the room around her.

What she learnt in those years has never left her: the things we choose to live with can change how a space feels, and how we feel within it. A room can become somewhere to rest. A house can become a home. That is where her love of home and lifestyle pieces began, and it remains the foundation of everything the company makes.

Underwood & Company was years in the making. Much of that work happened quietly, behind the scenes, in products that were developed and set aside and concepts that will never be seen. Each one shaped the standard for what would eventually carry the name.

Today Victoria lives in Oxford, where she leads the company as founder and creative director. She is a lesbian and a female founder, and she built Underwood & Company to stand for more than what it sells. Supporting other women and female founders sits alongside quality and craftsmanship at the heart of the business.

Underwood & Company creates beautiful pieces for the home and for the everyday: made with care, chosen to bring joy, and designed to last for years to come.

Because everyone deserves somewhere that feels like home.
