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’

Our Wallpaper Story
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.
