What We Do
In 2022, a dynamic collaboration between interior designer Avery Solmssen and serial entrepreneur Lily Kanter led to the creation of the Averylily Design Studio, which is dedicated to transforming spaces in the Hawaiian Islands and beyond.
Avery noticed that her clients were always eager to receive recommendations for where to replenish their bedding and bath products after projects are complete. A desire to fill that need with locally-designed products that are readily available in Hawaiʻi led to the 2024 launch of the Averylily Home Collection.
Our collection showcases high-quality move-in basics, including bedding, bath, and decor—all of which celebrate the beauty of Hawaiʻi and our dedication to the community.
Our Founders
The spark that started Averylily happened when Avery Solmssen designed a beautiful home on the Big Island. When Lily Kanter moved into the home, she instantly wanted to meet the designer. Over time, a chemistry was formed and they partnered together to create a studio that honors artisans and the local community.
