The Art of the ‘Slow Home’ – Why Buying Well Matters
From McMullin & co.’s inception, the founding principles of simple, considered, and sustainable design have been at the forefront of the company’s expanding vision. Crafted with a sense of purpose and intent and born from the idea of creating spaces centred in authenticity and timeless aesthetics, the brand’s ethos has never wavered.
Now, more than ever, consumers are coming to understand the benefits to buying once and buying well – or what is known as ‘slow design’. In a world where consumption is fleeting and trends come and go faster than ever before, making conscious purchases is paramount to overcoming the rising issue of fast furniture and thoughtless waste.
As McMullin & co. enters a new era of furniture design with bigger pieces like sofas, dining tables and custom upholstered furniture options, our commitment to countering the world of mass-produced furniture with an unyielding dedication to authentic, timeless design that’s built to last and made for living, is ever present.

Due to the small-batch nature of our intentionally crafted furniture, reasonable wait times may dissuade those seeking a ‘quick fix’ or instant gratification, but small runs and handmade expertise ensure our purposeful products transcend trends to provide our buyers with a heartfelt design that rejects the idea of modern throwaway culture and embraces our enduring ethos.
Slow furniture, or furniture designed with the idea of longevity and sustainability at its core, is produced using high-quality materials and durable fabrics, made to stand the test of time while meeting the needs of the modern consumer. Working with our trusted family of artisans and creatives, each McMullin & co. piece is lovingly and painstakingly designed with this top of mind.
Produced in smaller quantities using eco-friendly and ethically sourced materials, the pieces are consciously crafted to provide customers with a more cost-effective investment, forgoing the need to replace furniture frequently and offering the ability to curate a considered, more conscious home.
Investing in high-quality, long-lasting pieces built to be versatile and ever evolving with your own personal style - especially when it comes to bespoke selections – is integral to the continuation of responsible craftsmanship and our promise to honest design practices.

Ceramics are traditionally handmade and placed in a woodfire kiln, every effort is made to ensure there is minimal colour variations to our ceramic pieces, however, it is something that we love and can be expected.

We love styling dried flowers in ours, but for fresh flowers please place a watertight container inside the vessel or select one of our glazed vessels.
