Brand story 1

I started this business four years ago to gain control of the design, manufacturing and marketing of furniture under my own name. I felt that the conventional relationship between designer, manufacturer and retailer was undergoing significant changes, partly brought on by the shifts caused by the internet and developments in fast global communication and trade. The time was right for me to step up and take hold of a more significant part of the process of putting furniture out into the world. Matthew Hilton Limited was formed with a new kind of licensing deal with the Portuguese company De La Espada.
