About Us

We created Affina Haus from a belief that beautiful homes are built through thoughtful layers. To us, hardware is never an afterthought. It is the finishing touch that draws a room together. Typically, when people start designing a home, they begin with the obvious things, furniture, layout, and colour palette. At Affina Haus, we believe the quieter details beneath the surface are what truly shape the feeling of a space. The way light moves across a surface, the weight of a knob, and how materials feel in your hand are the subtle elements that signal quality and add character. These small differences are often what transform a display home into one that feels lived in, loved, and beautifully cohesive.

Affina Haus launches with a curated edit of artisanal door hardware, designed to bring a sense of playfulness to your space. Like jewellery for your home, each piece adds a layer of design expression, bringing depth rather than decoration. Our pieces are designed in Australia and produced by trusted manufacturers around the world, crafted from hardwearing natural materials such as solid brass, genuine leather, and stone.

We believe quality should be felt just as much as it is seen, and life is too short for basic hardware.

 

Affina Haus was founded by Emily, a creative director turned home renovator who has always been more interested in how a space feels than how it photographs. Born in Italy and raised in Australia, she developed an early appreciation for beautiful architecture, enduring materials, and design that tells a story.

Through her experience renovating homes and running brand campaigns for some of the largest names in Australia and the U.S., she saw firsthand how considered design decisions can shape both the experience of a space and its overall value. It was, however, her renovation journey that ultimately allowed her to step away from her day job and pursue a lifestyle that offered both financial freedom and more time for the people and experiences that matter most.

What began as a personal exploration of design philosophy has evolved into Affina Haus, a collection devoted to the quiet power of small details.
