Established in 2017, The Monkey Puzzle Tree has carved out a new way to harness creative ideas to produce one-of-a-kind designs.
Our carefully selected Yorkshire artists celebrate the best of the North of England's creativity, eccentricity and innovation.
What's different about us is that every single one of our designs starts with an original piece of art. This means that when you buy one of our luxury fabrics or wallpapers, you're bringing a unique artwork into your home. And for our artists, this means their creativity is supported via the generous royalty we pay.
Drew Millward's 'Hit the North' wallpaper, for example, with its intricate industrial design, is printed on cork. And our subversive 'Body Lace' voile from artist Sarah Jane Palmer has erotic nudes hidden beneath its veneer of delicate respectability.
We CREATE highly individual fabrics and wallcoverings, putting art at the heart of our designs. Via unique collaborations with talented artists from England's industrial north, we make joyful textiles that defy passing trends, bringing originality, imagination and beauty to your interior.
We CELEBRATE British design, craftsmanship and manufacturing. All of our designs are made here in the North of England. In fact, many of them are produced in the same mills that have been used for generations by classic textile brands such as Sanderson and William Morris. When you buy from us, you are supporting manufacturing heritage and helping to protect vital, skilled jobs.
We CARE by looking after our artists, our community and our planet. Our generous royalty remuneration recognises the value of our artists' work. And we are fundamentally committed to lowering our carbon footprint by remaining as local and sustainable as possible throughout our design, manufacturing and distribution processes.
'I've always been fascinated by interiors. My mum says when I was a child I'd always ask to go to the toilet at people's houses so I could see what the rest of their house looked like. That curiosity has stayed with me to this day.'
- Founder Charlotte Raffo
We believe in design with a conscience which means we run our business according to ethical, environmental and philanthropic principles.
Our unique vision for interiors required a similarly individual name, so our founder Charlotte turned to a childhood favourite of hers – the Monkey Puzzle Tree.
We're proud to support our local creative community.
We work with artists from the North of England and pay a generous 20% royalty to help support their work.
