Sometimes, some things are right under your nose and you just need to fit it all together!
Over several years, Hemming & Wills’ Founder Chris kept coming up against the same frustrations. As he explains “I’ve always been interested in home interiors and creating a stylish, contemporary home and be it when renting and then being lucky enough to buy a place, I kept coming up against a lack of more unique, affordable, contemporary design-led home furniture and furnishings choices. Sometimes that big yellow and blue brand most of us end up in on a busy Saturday, just doesn’t cut it (the meatballs are nice though!). I actually ended up buying more unique, affordable pendant lights from Germany in the end!"
"With Northern roots (Manchester to be precise), I’ve always looked for good value too – let’s face it high end designer prices aren’t always in reach of everyone.”
Combining this, more recently, with an increasing horror about the amount of plastic waste impacting our planet, a real frustration about a lack of passion for his ‘9-5’ (or usually much later) IT career and a long running entrepreneurial yearning, the time was right to bring this all together to take a stand and make a difference on multiple fronts. And so, Hemming & Wills was born to take on this challenge – we hope you enjoy our great collection of design-led home furnishings and plastic free homewares all under one roof, helping us all to make a difference.
