Lucy Pye & Stephen Uprichard
Nusom Collective is the creation of husband and wife duo Lucy Pye and Stephen Uprichard, whose shared passion for thoughtful design, craftsmanship and creative collaboration lies at the heart of everything we do.
With over 15 years in the luxury interior design industry, Lucy brings a wealth of knowledge, an instinctive eye for quality and longstanding relationships with some of the world’s most respected artisans and design studios. Her background includes working closely with leading interior designers, architects and makers, and curating collections that reflect the highest levels of craft, material integrity and design narrative. Lucy leads the creative and curatorial direction at Nusom, and is deeply involved in every maker relationship and project we take on.
Stephen’s career began in the digital and creative industries, where he developed a strong foundation in strategic thinking, brand development and technology-driven storytelling. His understanding of how to build meaningful connections between people, design and purpose is a vital part of how Nusom operates. At Nusom, Stephen brings clarity to process, manages the growth of the business, and ensures each partnership is built on substance, trust and long-term value.
Lucy founded Nusom Collective in 2020, with the initial creative and digital support from Stephen, who later joined the business full-time. Together, they set out to offer something more thoughtful to the interiors world
a personal platform where design professionals could discover exceptional craftsmanship, collaborate with ease, and access the kind of detail and quality that defines timeless interiors.
Their South London showroom and residence is a reflection of this ethos: a carefully curated destination where clients can explore pieces in person, meet by appointment, and begin a collaborative process tailored to their needs. Whether through made-to-order pieces, custom adaptations or fully bespoke commissions, Lucy and Stephen continue to support their growing network of makers and designers in creating meaningful, enduring work.
