ABOUT US
The Hive was born from a deep love of design, craftsmanship, and conscious living. It’s a curated space where interiors, lifestyle, and wellbeing meet - championing the best of British design with clarity, care, and intention.
Founded by designer and creative director Rebecca Jones, The Hive reflects a lifelong passion for meaningful design and natural living. With a background in photography, interiors, and design, Rebecca brings a multidisciplinary approach to the brand - one rooted in simplicity, purpose, and aesthetic harmony.
Nestled between Oxford and the Cotswolds in a beautifully restored workshop, our showroom is a place of calm creativity. It’s where timeless design, thoughtful materials, and contemporary elegance come together to inspire those who value beauty with depth.
We work with British designers, artisans, and makers who share our values: sustainability, refined simplicity, and enduring quality. From beautifully made furniture and home accessories to handcrafted wellbeing essentials and thoughtful gifts, every piece is chosen to elevate your home and enrich your life.
At The Hive, we believe homes should feel intentional - not overwhelming. We offer a slower, more considered approach to interiors and shopping - inviting you to choose with care, find joy in the details, and surround yourself with things that last.
This is more than a store. It’s a way of living.
Welcome to The Hive.
WHY "THE HIVE"?
The name reflects our belief in the power of collaboration, creativity, and purposeful living. Like a hive, our space is alive with shared ideas, thoughtful making, and meaningful connection - bringing together designers, makers, and conscious customers in celebration of beautiful, intentional design.
CRAFTSMANSHIP & DESIGN
Craftsmanship and design are at the heart of everything we do. Every piece we create or curate reflects a deep respect for quality, process, and materials. We collaborate with skilled British artisans and independent makers who craft with care, sustainability, and longevity in mind.
We believe in design that is both beautiful and functional - objects that serve a purpose, spark joy, and stand the test of time. In a world of fast trends and disposable goods, we champion integrity, intention, and enduring style.
We’re drawn to the cool and contemporary, the crafted and organic. Texture, material, and colour are our language. The pieces we choose to live with should elevate the everyday - designed to be used, loved, and eventually passed on.
CURATED LIVING: CHOOSING WITH INTENTION
This belief shapes every decision we make. We are not passive consumers - we are the curators of our environments, the architects of our everyday. Every object we invite into our homes, every habit we adopt, every brand we support - they all tell a story about who we are and what we value.
We believe in living with intention. In asking: Where did this come from? Who made it? How was it made? What impact will it have - not just on me, but on the world around me?
From the food we eat to the scents we surround ourselves with, the furniture we sit on to the shows we watch - each choice is an opportunity to align with our deeper values.
So we stay curious. We question. We seek meaning. We consume consciously - not out of perfectionism, but out of care.
Our homes are filled with things. The question is: What are you choosing to let in - and why?
