Love what we do. With people we love.

It was early in 1989 that Kathy and Sidney Bensohn jumped on a plane to the UK from their home in Cape Town, with their young family in tow. They originally planned to stay in London for just a couple of years – but it wasn’t long before they put down permanent roots and began to build the family business that became One World. Kathy started out importing and selling beautiful candles from Swaziland as a small side project - but it soon became successful enough for Sid to join her as they both dedicated themselves full time to sourcing and importing beautiful things for the home. Almost three decades later and they are still in London with their two boys, Jason and Jamie, who now run the family business.

From those early days selling Swazi Candles, to the beautifully crafted and curated ranges of furniture and homeware of today, One World has always stayed true to one very simple idea; love what we do, with people we love. We believe in homes and products that invite people to engage with them, and with each other. These kind of items enrich our relationships with friends and family – and the spaces in which we live. They make everyday life a pleasure.

The industry has changed dramatically in the years since One World was born and whilst we continue to adapt to the world around us - it remains a huge source of pride to us all that many of the people who started out in the One World family with Kathy and Sid are still with them and the boys in the business today. It's a testament to the family orientated culture and values that have driven the company from its simple beginnings all those years ago - values that remain at the very heart of everything we do.
