Illuminating Homes & Lives: Eangee Home Design
At Diana Dreger Designs, we're passionate about showcasing brands that make a difference. Today, we're thrilled to shine a spotlight on Eangee Home Design, a company that beautifully blends unique design, environmental responsibility, and fair-trade practices.
A Journey That Began with a Gecko
The story of Eangee Home Design is as captivating as their products. It all began with a simple, handcrafted gecko lamp discovered by Clyde Godfrey during his travels in the Philippines. This lamp, a reminder of his son's love for reptiles, sparked an idea: to bring these unique, eco-friendly creations to the U.S. market. Headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, Eangee Home Design's roots are firmly planted in the rich artistry of the Philippines.
More Than Just Decor: A Commitment to People and Planet
Eangee Home Design isn't just about beautiful home goods; it's about building a better world. As a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, they're dedicated to using renewable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly materials. From non-toxic dyes to water-based finishes, their commitment to sustainability is evident in every piece.
But their dedication goes beyond environmental responsibility. As a fair-trade company, Eangee Home Design prioritizes the well-being of their artisans. They partner with family-run producers in Cavite and Bulacan, Philippines, ensuring living wages, healthcare, continuing education, and quality housing. These strong, personal relationships are the cornerstone of their exceptional craftsmanship.
From Cocoa Leaves to Capiz Shells: A Celebration of Natural Materials
Lighting remains the heart of Eangee Home Design, with their signature lamps crafted from colorfully dyed cocoa leaves, handmade papers, and other renewable materials sourced from the Philippines. But their product range extends far beyond lighting.
Take their stunning wall decor, for example. Crafted from capiz oyster shells, each piece is a testament to the beauty of natural materials. The meticulous process of collecting, drying, and hand-painting these shells results in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that add a touch of elegance to any space.
A Global Impact, a Personal Touch
From their humble beginnings, Eangee Home Design has grown to supply retail stores across all 50 U.S. states and seven countries worldwide. Yet, despite their global reach, they maintain a personal touch, nurturing their relationships with artisans and constantly evolving their designs to keep pace with trends.
