Materials & Crafting Methods
Every storage solution begins with carefully selected sustainable materials. We prioritize natural, renewable resources that minimize environmental impact while delivering exceptional quality and durability.
Overview of Eco Materials
Bamboo, Rattan, and Reclaimed Wood
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, making it an excellent renewable resource. Our bamboo products are harvested sustainably and processed without harmful chemicals. Rattan, a climbing palm, provides flexible yet strong material for baskets and organizers. Reclaimed wood gives new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste, preserving the character and history of each piece.
These materials offer natural durability and resistance to moisture when properly treated. They age beautifully, developing a rich patina over time that adds character to your storage solutions.
Organic Cotton, Linen, and Hemp
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, protecting both the environment and workers. Linen, made from flax plants, is naturally antibacterial and becomes softer with each wash. Hemp is incredibly strong and requires minimal water to grow, making it one of the most sustainable textile options available.
These natural fibers are breathable, hypoallergenic, and perfect for storing items that need protection from dust while allowing air circulation. They're ideal for clothing storage, produce bags, and soft organizers.
Recycled Paper & Cardboard
Recycled paper and cardboard offer an affordable and versatile option for storage solutions. When properly treated and reinforced, these materials can create surprisingly durable drawer dividers, box organizers, and temporary storage solutions.
We use only post-consumer recycled content, ensuring that our paper products give new purpose to materials that have already served their initial function. These solutions are perfect for organizing small items, creating custom dividers, and temporary storage needs.
How Materials Affect Durability
Long-Term Performance
Natural materials like bamboo and rattan can last for decades when properly maintained. Their cellular structure provides natural strength and flexibility that synthetic materials cannot match.
Environmental Resistance
Organic textiles naturally resist mold and mildew when kept in dry conditions. Wood materials benefit from natural oils that protect against moisture and pests.
Maintenance Requirements
Each material has specific care needs. Bamboo benefits from occasional oiling, while natural fibers require gentle cleaning. Understanding these needs ensures longevity.
Low-Toxin Glues, Oils, and Dyes
We use only natural, low-toxin adhesives and finishes in our crafting process. Our glues are water-based and free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Natural oils like linseed and tung oil provide protection and enhance the beauty of wood surfaces without harmful chemicals.
For coloring, we use plant-based dyes derived from natural sources such as indigo, turmeric, and beetroot. These dyes create beautiful, earthy tones while being completely safe for both people and the environment.
Crafting Process
Our crafting process combines traditional techniques with modern efficiency. Each piece is carefully planned to minimize waste, with leftover materials repurposed for smaller items or returned to the production cycle. We prioritize hand-finishing to ensure quality and attention to detail that machine production cannot replicate.
The process begins with material selection, where we choose pieces that meet our quality standards. Then, careful cutting and shaping follows, with each step designed to preserve the natural beauty of the materials. Finally, assembly and finishing bring everything together into a functional, beautiful storage solution.
