Company History
It started as a journey of self-discovery in 1991 when Four Hands founder, Brett Hatton, set off to retrace the ancient Silk Trade route from China to Europe. Along the way he discovered antique furniture and rare architectural pieces in Pakistan and India and soon returned to purchase his first container for the opening of a retail store in England. Brett named it Four Hands, since each piece was hand-selected and touched by hand.
In 1996, Brett took his first big risk. With no backers, no sales force, and having never attended a trade show; he borrowed everything he could from family and friends and opened a wholesale importer business in Austin, Texas. Within three years he had built a business that was growing 120% annually.
He took a second risk by forsaking antiques for new production. Historically, Indian exports were low quality and poorly finished. The company focused on its own original designs, aligning factories, introducing new techniques, and putting its own QA team on the ground. As a result, Four Hands helped lead the Lifestyle trend, one of the hottest segments in the industry.
Next came expansion throughout Asia, including purchasing a factory in China and achieving a balanced load between India and China. Four Hands now has permanent, international offices in China and India. We now have operations in Indonesia, Thailand, Central America and Mexico.
