Brands that are working towards making interiors more sustainable
THERE was a great deal of publicity in the run up to Earth Day on April 22, much of which offered great suggestions as to how we can all do our bit in adopting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Inspired by Earth Day, Sweetpea and Willow have taken the opportunity to spotlight some of the wonderful brands they have partnered with that are consciously working to make the world of interiors more sustainable and ethical.
Umage
Every Umage piece is made with thoughtful craftsmanship and environmental care to minimise the brand’s carbon footprint. For every wooden product sold, Umage plants a tree in collaboration with One Tree Planted, and the brand also recently announced that it has achieved RDS certification on all Eos feather shades and products, ensuring the wellbeing of animals in its production.
Schwung
Schwung considers sustainability and durability at every step – from production to packaging. This lighting brand produces minimalistic, industrialthemed lamps that are efficiently handmade using quality materials with minimal environmental impact. They’re made to order and designed to last a lifetime.
Eym candles
British-made candles and diffusers from Eym are both ethically and sustainably produced. The candles are made with soy wax and have cotton wicks, and the diffusers have pure cotton reeds, making them perfect for vegans.
Modern Grand Tour
The fabulous lamps from A Modern Grand Tour come with ostrich feathers that have been sustainably sourced from suppliers who raise the animals ethically.
Modern Sustainable Fabrics
We are thrilled to share that now you will be able to upholster pieces from our stunning Exclusively Sweetpea collection in a new and luxurious sustainable fabric called Conscious. Our durable new weave, composed of 100% PET recycled waste plastic bottles, is fabulously soft with an incredibly smooth texture.
