Construction:
Features handmade, recycled paper. The reclaimed paper is boiled and ground into a liquid pulp and then strained over a large, flat, screen where it begins to lay flat in sheet form. The sheets are squeezed under a large press to removed excess water and to bind the pulp fibers into a durable, cohesive sheet of handmade paper. From there, each handmade paper sheet is cut to proper size and hand placed onto a standard UL lampshade backing using a non-toxic adhesive. The shade is adhered to a solid mango base, sustainably sourced from mango farms. Bamboo, acacia, fern leaves are used in some designs to adorn the shade behind the handmade paper.

Eco-Friendly:
We are a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry.

Our products are manufactured using materials that are sustainably harvested, safe dyes that are food-based, and water-based finishes.

The paper of the shade is made from recycled fibers, adorned with leaves in many cases. The primary purpose of Mango trees is to bear fruit. The tree is cut down after the fruit-bearing lifespan, providing the farmer with a second source of income. Mango wood is a hardwood and is used because of its sustainablilty and its visual chararacteristics, such as its color and grain patterns.


Fair-Trade:
We view ourselves as partners with our manufacturers and continuously exchange ideas on how to improve production, product quality, and the health and well-being of the artisans that work to create the products we sell. We visit our manufacturers on a regular basis to ensure that our core mission is being followed.

Our products are produced in the Philippines, a country that is fast growing, and progressive on ensuring workers' rights. It is also a country where many companies are run by women and their entrepreneurial efforts are encouraged.

The artisans who make our pieces are paid a living wage, provided quality housing, have access to continuing education, and work under dignified and safe conditions.
