We love House of Hackney. It's hard to believe the East London design house is only five years old: their opulent botanical designs have become instant icons. In a market laden with dinky Japanese minimalism and muted Scandi-chic, House of Hackney are firmly at the vanguard of a lavish Arts & Crafts revival.
They've just launched their SS16 collection: the second based on the designs of Pre-Raphaelite artist, socialist and all-round dab hand William Morris. House of Hackney owe a great deal to Morris: the husband and wife duo behind the design house were first inspired by the floral garlands and natural patterns when they set up their flagship store back in 2010.
This new collection of fashion and interiors is full of spring sunlight: pastel colours give the designs a lightness, despite their complexity. We particularly love the Acanthus and Crysanthemum wallpapers, lamps and cushions. Check out the romantic dresses and bikinis, too. We wanted everything in the shop.
