House Of Hackney is a luxury interiors label with a flagship store on Shoreditch High Street, based in the East London shopping district of Central London. The brand specialises in British-made goods and reinvents traditional designs.[1]
History
House of Hackney was founded in London in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle, a former buyer for Topshop and product designer respectively.[2] The bright colours of the brand's prints are inspired by Victorian ornamentation and William Morris.[3] Products include wallpaper, bed linen, dressing screens and lampshades, made in the United Kingdom where possible.[2]
Having started off as an interiors brand, House of Hackney took its signature prints into the fashion realm with a clothing collection for Opening Ceremony,[4] followed by capsule ranges for ASOS (retailer) in 2013 and & H&M Other Stories in 2018.[5]
Along with a permanent space in Liberty (department store), House of Hackney opened its flagship store in the heart of Shoreditch in 2013. It was described by Time Out as "one of the most gorgeous retail establishments to land in London in years".[6]
In October 2015, House of Hackney partnered with Eastpak on a collection of backpacks.[7] That year, House of Hackney was also chosen as one of Walpole’s Brands of Tomorrow.[8]
House of Hackney opened a new store space next to the Elizabeth Street Garden in New York in 2019.[9]
In 2020, Gormley and Royle opened an exclusive B&B at Trematon Castle in Cornwall, transforming the estate’s Georgian house and Gate Lodge with their own designs and those of high-end heritage brands.[10]
In January 2021, it was announced that House of Hackney had been certified as a B Corporation for meeting the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.[11]
