Its retail arm, Soho Home, allows them to do just that.

Hollywood Reporter: Soho Home Brings Exclusive Luxury Furniture to Newly Opened West Hollywood Store
“They’re called studios for a reason,” Soho House managing director of retail Aalish Yorke-Long told The Hollywood Reporter. “They’re not just shops — that’s not a word we use internally. It is all about coming and spending time in the space, and really experiencing what it is to be in a Soho House, whilst looking at beautiful furniture.”
Since its L.A. debut in 2010, Soho House has established itself as an exclusive hub for Hollywood A-listers and dealmakers in town. Before the launch of the Home brand, being inside one of the clubs gave that Soho House feel. Now, members and non-members alike can bring that luxury and comfort into the privacy of their own homes.
“[Founder Nick Jones] is a genius on many levels, but he is a design genius,” Yorke-Long said of how Soho Home came about. “It is his eye that made [the Houses] such special places to hang out. People were always saying, ‘Oh my God, Nick, where’d you get this stuff from?’ And he’s like, ‘Well, we actually make it. We should probably sell it.'”
