Our Factories

Designed with purpose, made with love and built to last.

At House of Hackney, we don’t make ‘products’; we make 'future Heirlooms'.
Unique, authentic pieces that are inspired by the past and designed to be passed down to the next generation.

Upon founding our House, we spent six months travelling the length and breadth of the UK in search of the country’s finest craftspeople. We are proud to still work closely with these small-scale, family-run businesses today – preserving specialist, age-old trades (not to mention local jobs) while delivering unparalleled quality.
Each design is a celebration of traditional craftsmanship and sublime artistry, made to stand the test of time. No wonder, then, that we call them ‘future heirlooms’

Wallpaper

BORÅS TAPETFABRIK - VIARED, BORÅS, SWEDEN

Our wallpaper is crafted at a little factory at the forefront of sustainability. One that sources
its wood pulp from young trees, not ancient ones, grown purposefully in a forest managed to
the FSC’s standards. Borås Tapetfabrik prints our PVC-free creations in small, made to order
batches to avoid unnecessary waste. Being kind to the planet is at the very heart of what they do. 

They have spent more than a century learning, growing and becoming a forerunner in
sustainable production; the result? Some of the most environmentally friendly wallpaper in
the world.

“We have been manufacturing wallpaper in Borås for over 100 years. Focusing on
craftsmanship, quality and sustainability, we provide the world with first-class wallpaper”

Paint

BAILEY PAINT - STROUD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE & CWMBRAN, WALES

Historic company S.G. Bailey Paints Ltd started making paint in Stroud, Gloucestershire in 1896.
Now, at the helm since 1989, Richard Townsend has become an expert at creating bespoke paints.

A part of the business since he was a teen working summer jobs, making things is Richard’s calling;
creating colours from scratch, from pigment to paint still excites him 35 years on.
We have worked closely with him to deliver our eco-friendly paint collection.

With our Nature-inspired shades we want to bring beauty and creativity to the
home while reflecting the principles of sustainability that makes House of Hackney a B corp brand.

Flooring

AXMINSTER CARPETS -  AXMINSTER, DEVON

Axminster Carpets has been synonymous with carpet luxury and craftsmanship for over 250
years. Based in Devon, Axminster have been expertly weaving since 1755. Sharing our
passion for sustainability, traditional craft and colour, the design house uses responsibly
sourced British wool to create their unique ‘eight pitch Axminster’ weave, fitting in more wool
per square inch, which, like a high definition tv, allows more pattern and colour, and results in
a better quality carpet.

“We are very, very passionate about keeping weaving alive in Axminster. We already have
really strong, sustainable credentials because we weave with British wool, jute and cotton,
but we're pushing boundaries to see what next.”
