MacKenzie-Childs is a home decor and furniture brand founded in 1983 in Aurora, New York. Located on a 65-acre former dairy farm overlooking Cayuga Lake, the company is known for its whimsical and playful design aesthetic, which it describes as "tradition with a twist."
The brand's identity is defined by its audacious, hand-painted patterns, particularly the signature black-and-white "Courtly Check". MacKenzie-Childs manufactures a significant portion of its ceramics, furniture, and lighting at its Aurora facility. Artisans craft and paint many of these pieces by hand.
While many core items are made in the United States, the company also sources some products internationally, such as its popular enamelware from Southeast Asia and textiles from India. The full collection includes a wide range of kitchenware, decor accents, lighting, and upholstered furniture.
The company's headquarters is a destination itself. It is proudly open to visitors, offering tours of the production studio, a retail store, and gardens that reflect the brand's unique style.
