Emma Hayes

Every Emma Hayes design starts by hand — a painting, a drawing, a mark made in response to the landscape outside the studio. Founder and Creative Director Emma Hayes lives and works in New Zealand, and the country is where most of the work comes from: the patterns and textures of the land itself, translated through paint and ink before digital processes carry them onto the wall.

The result is a body of work that reads as atmosphere rather than pattern — washes, drifts, veils, tidal marks, mineral layers. Made with heritage manufacturers on non-woven paper from FSC® or PEFC™ certified forests, printed with organic pigment inks free from heavy metals. The brand also produces acoustic panels, extending the same visual language into spaces that need to sound as considered as they look.
