Meet Ana
...the creative force behind HU:PU - an artist-printmaker and print designer with a passion for nature, history, and a little whimsy.
In the world of mass-produced fast decor and flat-pack properties, it's become increasingly hard to make a house feel a home. Why settle for the ordinary when you can create spaces that are anything but? Our velvet lampshades and bespoke wallpapers are made for those who dare to be different. Each object in the workshop tells a story. A story of time, space, nature and wonder. Sometimes mysterious, sometimes funny, sometimes a little spooky. If your home could tell a story, what would it be?
Our mission is to redefine the essense of modern home by enriching living spaces with opulent heritage patterns and soft textures and transform it into a haven of scrumptious comfort.
And to do so without compromising our core values:
100% human design
All the prints you see are designed in house by Ana Manzon, the founder of HU:PU. Occasionally, we may use prints from other independent designers thus supporting other small businesses. All our prints are 100% human-made. We do not and will not use any AI-generated imagery on our products. Keeping small designers in business is our passion.
Sustainability
All our fabric is ethically sourced from a local UK manufacturer who uses 100% renewable energy sources and virtually no water. All fabric is certified as child-safe and REACH-compliant.
All our wallpaper is FCS certified and printed in the UK/EU
We are on a constant lookout for sustainable packaging and recyclable materials. We admit that we still have some way to go.
Fair wage
We are committed to paying a living wage to all our support staff and only work with supplies who have the same values. We maintain a safe and nurturing working environment with plenty of regular breaks and Yorkshire Tea on tap!
Excellent craftsmanship
We pride ourselves on attention to detail. All our products are made in our small workshop by people who are passionate about preserving traditional crafts. We are committed to a slow growth to ensure the quality of your beautiful product is never compromised.
Fun
We are committed to remaining open-minded, silly and a little weird.
I hope you enjoy looking around the Atelier. Should you wish us to make you something truly bespoke, please don't hesitate getting in touch.
Yours Sincerely,
Ana Manzon
