MYCELIUM TREE DECORATIONS: HOUSE OF HACKNEY AND CALEY BROTHERS
ONE-OF-A-KIND DECORATIONS
House of Hackney, the luxury interiors brand celebrated for bringing the beauty of nature into homes, collaborated with Magical Mushroom Company® and Caley Brothers to create a trio of mycelium tree decorations. The partnership highlights a shared commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious innovation.
These one-of-a-kind decorations—a star, a mushroom, and a bauble—are handcrafted using mycelium and hemp, reflecting a rustic charm while offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional decorations.
Designed to elevate holiday decor, the ornaments also embody a broader mission to restore nature and improve quality of life on Earth.
“MYCELIUM SHOWS HOW LUXURY AND SUSTAINABILITY CAN COEXIST BEAUTIFULLY.”
THE PROBLEM
SUSTAINABLE HOLIDAY SOLUTIONS
Traditional holiday decorations are often made from plastics or synthetic materials, which contribute significantly to landfill waste after use. These materials not only fail to align with eco-conscious values but also lack the unique aesthetic appeal of natural, handmade items.
House of Hackney and Caley Brothers wanted to offer holiday decorations that celebrated natural materials and sustainability while maintaining the high design standards their customers expect.
The challenge was finding a material that was both visually appealing and biodegradable, with minimal environmental impact.
THE SOLUTION
BIODEGRADABLE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS
Magical Mushroom Company® provided the perfect answer: mycelium, the root structure of fungi, combined with agricultural waste like hemp.
This innovative material is lightweight, strong, and 100% compostable, breaking down naturally after its use. The collaboration led to the creation of beautifully textured ornaments, each grown in moulds over a few days.
This sustainable process eliminated the need for harmful chemicals or energy-intensive manufacturing, ensuring the decorations were as kind to the planet as they are captivating.
THE RESULTS
ECO-CONSCIOUS GIFTS
This three-way collaboration resulted in stunning, eco-friendly ornaments that blend artistry and sustainability. The decorations’ natural textures and timeless designs resonated with environmentally conscious consumers, making them a standout holiday offering.
By creating ornaments that are biodegradable and compostable, the project underscored how mycelium can replace unsustainable materials without sacrificing style. It set a new standard for holiday decor, proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.
Magical Mushroom Company® demonstrated its ability to scale innovative bio-material solutions, paving the way for further collaborations with forward-thinking brands.
“Mycelium shows how luxury and sustainability can coexist beautifully. By collaborating with House of Hackney and Caley Brothers, we’ve proven that festive decorations can bring joy to the holidays while being gentle on the planet.”
