Launched in London in April 2011, House of Hackney is a new luxe wallpaper, bed linen and home furnishings label which reworks the concept of traditional British home wares for a new generation.
With a humorous, fun twist, House of Hackney rework classic British styling to create contemporary stylish, quirky home-wares which are impressively all designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom (except the bed linen which is made in Italy, the best linen factory in the world no less!).
The inaugural collections Dalston Rose, Queen Bee and Hackney Empire are inspired by Victorian Hackney in modern times. Grungy chintzed florals on wallpaper and monogrammed bed linen are ombre’d and antiqued in Dalston Rose; Queen Bee is a luxe trompe l’oeil and Hackney Empire sees animalistic debauchery with parrots and cranes, bush babies playing the accordion , badgers drinking cocktails, sloths smoking a hookah and a frog in bowler hat. Wallpaper, bed linen, fine bone china, lampshades and mirrors sit alongside trophy pieces of furniture such as hand carved beds, Victorian conversation chairs, love seats and chaise longues in the eponymous prints.
The photographs of their latest collections are just magical.
