Hit The North | Cork Wallpaper by Drew Millward
A bold fusion of graphic art and natural texture, Hit The North is the result of a dynamic collaboration with Yorkshire-based illustrator Drew Millward, renowned for his psychedelic gig posters for bands like the Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys.
Commissioned to create a Modernist-inspired piece that celebrates the creativity and grit of northern England, Millward drew upon the post-industrial landscape surrounding his Yorkshire home. The design features stylised factory buildings, rolling hills, and radiant sun motifs—interwoven with his signature iconography of skulls, owls, and black cats. Richly detailed and monochromatic, it rewards close inspection and brings a captivating narrative to your walls.
Printed on sustainable Portuguese cork, this innovative wallpaper merges contemporary design with tactile natural materiality, earning it the Design Guild Mark (2020/21) for excellence in British design.
Striking and versatile, Hit The North adds instant character to modern interiors and contrasts beautifully with period features like exposed brick or wood panelling. It’s a standout choice for creative residential spaces—think music rooms, basements, or gaming nooks—as well as high-impact commercial settings such as bars, restaurants, or boutique hotels, where its sound-dampening properties and visual texture shine.
