Founded by wife and husband team, Kyra and Robertson Hartnett, twenty2 wallpaper + textiles is built on over two decades of their industry experience.
Beginning in 2001, the Hartnetts spent a decade designing and marketing their own wallpaper and textile collections, helping usher in the current revival and reimagination of wallpaper.
The lessons -and challenges- of producing and selling their own collections compelled them to build a progressive, customer and design focused wallpaper manufacturing business, offering the level of strategic partnership they had been seeking. In 2020, twenty2 launched its digital textile printing division.
Today, with a women-led team of over 50 people and a broad suite of the latest digital technology, twenty2 produces some of the most beloved wallpaper and textile collections on the market and executes an array of inventive and complex site-specific installations
