What we do
Every piece of furniture has its own story. In a world of fast furniture and flat-pack convenience, more and more beautiful items are being destroyed, discarded and forgotten.
At Ouroboros, we create bespoke hire and retail pieces from reclaimed furniture and objects. Destruction becomes renewal & rebirth with a focus on sustainability whilst making pieces that are fun as fuck.
Meet the maker
Hi, I'm Hayley.
Originally from North East Lincolnshire in the UK, I've always had a soft spot for the darker, weirder, and more wonderfully macabre side of life. Pair that with a lifelong love of old architecture, antiques, and the stories they carry, and it's probably no surprise that I ended up collecting beautiful old things and finding ways to give them a second life.
For the past 25+ years I've worked in hospitality operations, with experience spanning event planning, venue activations, styling projects, refurbishments, weddings, and creating memorable guest experiences. I love solving problems creatively, building things that didn't exist yesterday, and finding practical solutions that don't sacrifice personality or style. I probably should have become an engineer, but maths and I never quite saw eye-to-eye (thanks, ADHD).
What I love most about this business is the balance of creativity and sustainability. There's something incredibly satisfying about rescuing, repurposing, and reimagining pieces that still have plenty of stories left to tell.
And if you spot a very handsome dog named Bjorn popping up on our socials from time to time, that's my faithful assistant keeping a close eye on operations.
