Hommeboys Interiors opens a showroom in Sonoma that serves as a base for locally crafted furniture and accessories.
Hommeboys Interiors in Sonoma offers a rich and textured backdrop for locally crafted furniture.
Hommeboys Interiors (@hommeboys), a luxury design firm founded by Austin Carrier and Alex Mutter-Rottmayer, recently unveiled its first showroom.
The space is open by appointment Monday through Friday and welcomes collectors, designers and design lovers for an intimate look at the duo’s distinctive furniture line, Haus of Hommeboys. Designed and crafted locally, the collection embodies the duo’s signature ethos: art as objects—a seamless fusion of natural materials, sculptural forms and thoughtful craftsmanship.
I asked Carrier and Mutter-Rottmayer how the new space allows for more innovation. “Having our own millwork and furniture atelier makes our designs limitless,” says Carrier. “We’re able to explore anything and make tweaks to designs easily. It also lets us provide clients with bespoke cabinetry and millwork for our design projects.”
The showroom reflects the duo’s aesthetic vision, with deep burgundy walls, Zia tile (ziatile.com), rich marble from Carmel Stone Imports (carmelimports.com) and sustainable rugs from Armadillo (armadillo-co.com). The dark, earthy palette provides a striking backdrop for handcrafted, functional and artful furniture. “This space is an extension of who we are as designers—it’s immersive, tactile and deeply personal,” says Carrier.
Austin Carrier and Alex Mutter-Rottmayer create pieces with regional influences in mind.
Haus of Hommeboys features three distinct collections. With its angular yet organic lines, Carrier says Sonoma’s charred landscape inspired the Ocotillo collection after the wildfires. “We brought that in with the rich stain and texture, allowing the grain to shine,” he says.
The Lone collection started as a custom piece for an investment property the team built in 2018, gradually evolving into an exploration of materials and sculptural angles. Meanwhile, the Bishop collection takes cues from a vintage jewelry box, with a repeating motif that balances detailing with plush upholstery and fabrics.
Beyond furniture, the showroom will showcase curated objects, lighting and art, offering a complete sensory experience. “We wanted a space where people can engage with the pieces, feel the materials and see how everything interacts in a designed environment,” says Mutter-Rottmayer.
