House of Hackney is more than a designer brand; it is a storyteller of interiors. Founded in London in 2011 by Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle, the brand was created as a rebellion against disposable design and “beige minimalism.” Their vision was clear: to bring colour, pattern, and narrative back into homes with fabrics and wallpapers crafted to be cherished for generations. Today, House of Hackney has become one of the most respected luxury brands in interiors, known for marrying British heritage with sustainable innovation.
Every collection is infused with artistry, symbolism, and a sense of purpose. From collaborating with traditional British mills to pioneering recycled textiles, the brand proves that design can be both beautiful and responsible. With each fabric or wallpaper, House of Hackney invites you to create a home layered with character and story.
This philosophy comes to life in their signature materials. From velvets that feel indulgent yet enduring, to linens with quiet elegance, to performance fabrics built for modern living.
Velvet has always been synonymous with comfort and elegance. House of Hackney’s range of plush velvet and luxury velvet fabrics transforms furniture upholstery into heirloom pieces. Whether it is a dramatic sofa, a set of cushions, or bespoke fabric headboards, these high quality fabrics invite depth and indulgence into living spaces while still offering lasting durability.
Their linens are soft yet structured, ideal for upholstery or soft furnishings. These designs balance a relaxed sensibility with artistry, lending themselves beautifully to both contemporary and traditional homes. Pairing cotton linen with bespoke furniture upholstery allows you to create custom pieces that feel personal yet timeless.
A highlight of the House of Hackney collection is their recycled performance fabric. Crafted in Italy from 85% recycled polyester, this bespoke fabric combines sustainability with practical design. Tested to over 100,000 rubs, it is perfect for busy households and outdoor living. The range is water-repellent, mould-resistant, and UV resistant, ensuring style that withstands every season. From chinoiserie upholstery fabric like Zeus in Eau de Nil to playful designs like Wild Card in Butterscotch, these fabrics deliver waterproof furniture solutions without sacrificing beauty.
House of Hackney wallpapers are as iconic as their fabrics. Each pattern is designed to immerse a room in narrative, from moody florals to bold geometrics. Their wallpapers are crafted with the same attention to detail and sustainable practices as their textiles, making them a favourite for those who seek high quality design with purpose.
At Little & Fox, we are proud to partner with House of Hackney to bring their collections to New Zealand. We invite you to create with us. From upholstery to curtains, cushions, and lampshades, our custom services make it possible to weave the beauty of House of Hackney into every corner of your home.
