Hawkins New York was born out of a palpable void in the lifestyle market for quality, accessible, home goods. Citing a lack of range in small-scale home goods production, Hawkins was founded on the aim to incorporate the concept of artisanal collective production, while maintaining a modern sensibility in design.

Founded in 2013 by designers Nicholas Blaine + Paul Denoly, the brand is an all-encompassing marriage of their two design aesthetics. Their combined aesthetic can be described by elements of timeless design in its classical styling, use of quality materials and finish, all while having occasional touches of whimsy. Trendiness is not the objective, nor the end result of Hawkins products.
