2022 Incollect Magazine 55 House of Hackney was founded by the husband and wife team Frieda Gormley and Javvy M Royle in 2011. They wanted to start an interiors brand that draws inspiration from nature, balancing design with sustainable production and putting a modern twist on traditional British interiors.

The interiors at the brand’s London flagship, House of Hackney St Michael’s act as a miniature museum for irreverent British design, and some of this has traveled across the pond to the brand’s NYDC showroom.
