The WAH Story

My journey into the world of design began long before What a Host was even an idea. With over a decade of experience working with global brands like Givenchy, Warner Bros, and Marriott, I gained invaluable skills in business strategy, communication, and product development. But I always had a passion for design and a desire to create something of my own. That opportunity came in 2020, during a pivotal moment in my life when I moved to the UK.

After years of managing successful marketing campaigns and organising large-scale events, I felt it was time to bring my creative vision to life. That's how What a Host was born: a brand that merges my corporate experience with my love for modern handcrafted decor. 

Over the past four years, I've worked closely with artisans across the globe, learning from their craftsmanship and expertise in materials like stainless steel, iron, brass, aluminum and wood.

Together, we design and produce unique home accessories that reflect both traditional techniques and modern trends. We’re not just creating products, we’re building stories that people can take into their homes. 

What a Host is all about offering high-quality, sustainable, and affordable decor. 

"I’ve always believed that beautiful and good quality designs shouldn't be out of reach, and through our growing product line, we’ve managed to deliver on that promise".

Today, with over 200 products and an annual release of 20 new designs, we continue to expand and evolve, while staying true to our core values of craftsmanship and innovation.
