Construction:
Features large fossilized cocoa leaves that are hand placed on a standard UL lamp backing and then laminated using a non-toxic adhesive, creating two sides of the lamp. The third side is finished with a hand-woven, renewable, abaca mesh. The panels are handstitched onto a powder coated, wrought iron frame to form a leaf design which sets on a solid mango base, sustainably sourced from mango farms.
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.
The leaves used in our products are either collected after a tree naturally sheds them or are plucked from a living tree. In either case, the plant isn't harmed. Additionally, the purchase of the leaves we use provides a secondary income to the framers who grow and care for plants.
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.
