About Thefty

Playful patterned homewares & stationery with an edge.

Thefty was dreamed up by Helena Maratheftis while she was at university studying biology. While most would-be-scientists don't end up becoming designers, this came as no surprise to Helena, as it is her obsession with colour, pattern and form which unites her love for art and science.

The result is Thefty, where Helena designs products which punctuate your homes with vivid jolts of colour and bold, maximalist motifs. Helena's inspiration comes from varied, sometimes unexpected (and often scientific) sources.

The name Thefty is a nickname derived from Helena’s surname (Mara-THEFT-is).
