December 2025 marked ten years of Hudson Wilder.
Not as a finish line, but as a pause. A breath. A moment to look around and notice what has quietly taken shape.
Hudson Wilder began with a simple idea: That everyday objects carry culture, and that how we live is as meaningful as what we make. That design is not about perfection or spectacle, but about presence. About creating space, for people, for rituals, for time.
Over a decade, that idea has become a philosophy we call The Art of Casual Living.
It is about choosing objects that age well, rituals that feel human, and environments that invite people in rather than perform for them. It is about tables that hold many conversations. Glasses that witness long dinners. Rooms that feel lived in, not styled.
What started in a NoHo living room has grown into a community of designers, artists, chefs, writers, cyclists, thinkers, and friends across the world who share a belief that design is a way of life, not a layer placed on top of it.
Ten years in, the work feels clearer, not finished.
Clearer in its intent:
-
To honor the everyday as something worthy of design.
-
To bridge heritage and modernity through objects and experiences.
-
To place people, culture, and community at the center of everything we build.
This decade has not been about scale for its own sake. It has been about depth. About continuity. About staying human as the world accelerates.
So we mark ten years not with a retrospective, but with a recommitment.
To curiosity.
To culture.
To craft.
To community.
To designing not just objects, but ways of living.
Thank you for being part of this story, whether you joined us in year one or just arrived this year. The table is still being set.
