Dallas, TX & Los Angeles, CA – August 4
In an unexpected convergence of reality television fame and interior design prowess, former “Bachelor” star Sean Lowe has partnered with acclaimed designer Emily Henderson to launch a new, highly anticipated furniture collection: Room Service by Emily Henderson. The collaboration, which officially goes live today, August 4, began with a surprising direct message on Instagram – a modern-day fairytale meeting that eschewed the traditional “final rose” for a bold business proposition.
The genesis of this unique venture traces back nearly a decade to Lowe’s post-“Bachelor” life. After finding true love and marrying Catherine Lowe, the couple received a distinctive sectional sofa as a wedding gift from Lowe’s now-business partner, Clay Silver. This particular piece unexpectedly became an overnight sensation on social media. “Every single comment, if that sectional showed up in the picture, was ‘where do I buy it?'” Lowe revealed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, highlighting the undeniable market demand that sparked the idea for his own furniture brand. Leveraging his inherent experience in furniture manufacturing, Lowe saw an opportunity to transform consumer interest into a tangible business.
Now, Lowe’s manufacturing acumen converges with Henderson’s celebrated design aesthetic. The “Room Service by Emily Henderson” collection, proudly manufactured entirely within the USA, is now available for purchase on Wayfair, offering consumers access to unique, high-quality pieces.
A Curated Collection for Modern Living

Alice 72 Inch Sofa Alice 72-Inch Sofa: Priced at $1,650 (originally $1,899), the Alice sofa was conceived with furry friends in mind. Henderson, a dog owner herself, observed a “hole in the market” for pet-friendly furniture. Her solution: a “tight back sofa that dogs can get on without ruining the cushions or making big dents everywhere,” eliminating the need to constantly fluff cushions. This durable piece, featuring a solid wood frame, is available in sophisticated espresso, forest green, and classic cream.

Barb 96 Inch Sofa Barb 96-Inch Sofa: Available for $1,730 (down from $2,199), the Barb sofa, affectionately named after one of Henderson’s pet pigs, showcases elegant curved arms. This design choice, inspired by a “vintage French movement in the 60s,” offers a striking contrast to traditional square sofa frames, drawing the eye and adding a layer of visual interest. It arrives fully assembled, built on a kiln-dried hardwood frame, with comfortable fiber-wrapped foam seat and back cushions, all enveloped in a luxurious velvet-mimicking upholstery.

Oscar 84 Inch Sofa Oscar 84-Inch Sofa: For those who prioritize comfort above all else, the Oscar sofa, at $1,760 (reduced from $2,199), promises a “sink-in-able” experience. Henderson designed its foam and padding for maximum squishiness, likening its feel to a premium mattress. This inviting sofa features one long seat cushion to prevent “falling through the cracks,” two fluffy back cushions, and integrated armrest pillows for ultimate relaxation. It comes in rich dark blue and green color options.

Lowe expressed immense pride in the collaboration, stating, “I think I’m most proud of just bringing every design of hers to life because her designs are not cookie cutter. When we launch, people are going to see pieces that they wouldn’t see walking into their furniture store in their hometown. It’s going to be pieces that are unique and feel very Emily Henderson.”
Due to the artisanal nature and unique design of the collection, Henderson advises prospective buyers that each piece is stocked in limited quantities. Consumers are encouraged to act swiftly to secure their favorites before they sell out. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both personalities, blending their individual strengths to deliver a distinctive line of American-made furniture to homes across the nation.
