Celebrating a rich design history, the studio has collaborated with renowned names like The Standard hotel, DesignTex, ROLS, and Transport for London.
Driven by a thoughtful and meticulous approach to production, Wallace Sewell bring ideas to life on handlooms at their London and Dorset studios, expertly weaving them industrially at a family-run UK textile mill in Lancashire. Sustainability is at the core of their ethos, with the entire process occurring within a 200-mile radius of the mill, and transparency throughout production is deeply valued by the brand and respected by their clientele.
As staunch champions of British design and manufacturing, Wallace Sewell continues to redefine the art of textiles with creativity, innovation, and sustainability at its heart.
