Join Our House
Our Housemates are innovators who see the world differently and strive to make a difference within it. Each one is chosen and cherished for the skills, talents and characteristics that make them unique.
In our House, we care for the wellbeing of our team; that is why we offer a more flexible approach to working, allowing us to spend more time with Nature on Fridays.
As well as caring for our colleagues, we also care deeply about our eternal muse - Mother Nature. House of Hackney is proud to be certified as a B Corp™ and part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. With an independent representative for Nature & Future Generations sitting on our Board of Directors, we partner with many leading organisations - from World Land Trust to Living Wage Foundation, Woolkeepers and more - to reduce our impacts on Nature (including human wellbeing).
From our London flagship St Michael’s Clergy, based in the creative heart of the capital, to our New York showroom, our House is a place where imagination and collaboration can flourish – where everyone is accepted, all ideas are encouraged, and magic really does happen.
