Listen To Her

House of Hackney has legally appointed Mother Nature and Future Generations to our board of directors. By giving them a voice, they will hold us accountable for every decision we make with regards to our impact on the planet and people of today, and in the future.

Make With Respect For All

The Earth is an eternal source of inspiration for House of Hackney - she is both the muse and the poet. In gratitude for all that Mother Nature gives us, we do everything in our power to give back; harnessing eco-friendly materials and methods, championing causes that safeguard the world’s precious wildlife, and putting people before profit.

Support Life Sustaining Resources

We have come to realise that protecting our forests is more essential than replanting them - so we’ve formed an alliance. House of Hackney is proud to partner with the World Land Trust; the international conservation charity that safeguards our most vital natural ecosystems and threatened habitats, acre by acre.

Our partnership means that each item you buy from House of Hackney enables us to purchase and protect 35 square metres of forest.

In 2022 we protected over 170 acres of ancient woodland.

Tread Softly

We want to step lightly on the planet; the only footsteps we leave should be those for future eco warriors to follow. We are a certified carbon neutral company; this means we offset the carbon from the atmosphere that we emit. We also produce our collections in small batches while printing wallpaper, mixing paint and crafting furniture on a made-to-order basis. Our low-waste approach to manufacturing means we avoid making more than is needed, thus lessening the burden on our planet.

Champion Eco Friendly Materials 

At House of Hackney, we use environmentally friendly materials and sustainable methods. Unlike most wallpaper, ours is fully recyclable, made using paper from FSC-certified mills and printed to order in a sustainably run factory. Our paint is kind to the earth, our fabrics are free from harmful chemicals that damage the environment, our responsible sourced wool is 100% traceable and our packaging is made from 90% recycled and biodegradable materials.

Design To Love And Last

We believe in caring for our land, not contributing to landfill. So, House of Hackney champions the idea of buying less and instead investing in good-quality pieces that last. Combining age-old craftsmanship with enduring style, our designs are ‘future heirlooms’ – made to stand the test of time and be passed down to the next generation.

Think Globally, Act Locally

We proudly fly the flag for British manufacturing, championing traditional, local skills. Whether it’s flooring expertly woven by Axminster Carpets, furniture handmade in Nottingham, fabrics woven in Suffolk or paint, sustainably made in Gloucestershire, the provenance of our products is of great importance to us. Supporting small-scale, traditional industries, we work with some of the UK’s finest craftspeople – meaning we can both drive local employment and deliver unparalleled quality.

Care For People And Planet

We pledge 1% of all sales to charities and initiatives close to our heart, that care for people and planet.

When building our House, from the very first brick laid, we knew that nature would be a part of every business decision. We want to go a step further than being sustainable - as well as protecting the earth, we want to heal her. We are exploring local regenerative agriculture in order to work more in harmony with the natural world. When nature is doing well, we are doing well.

Be Like Nature

We wax and wane with the seasons; attuned to our circadian rhythm, we work 4 days in the summer, and finish earlier in the winter. We are in harmony with the sun and in balance with life.

Like Mother Nature, respect for all life on earth is key for us. We see human connection and community as a powerful tool to unite us in the common goal of protecting our shared home. We stand for inclusivity and diversity; from our employees to craftspeople, suppliers and farmers in the field, we want to ensure fairly paid, decent, meaningful work for everyone.
