In environmental terms, they are constantly working towards the worthy goal of a zero carbon foot print, doing their own part to combat global climate change. eangee products highlight renewable materials such as cocoa leaves, abaca rope, nito vine, and durian fruit fiber.

The Three Principles of Eangee Home Design:
- Fair Trade- A small family-owned manufacturing firm in the Philipines, located just outside the capital city of Manila, makes all the lighting in this collection. Many people travel to Manila from the provinces to find work and send money back home to loved ones. Not only does eangee home design make sure that the workers are provided strong living wages, but they also provide free quality housing, so that the workers can use more of their wages to help their families.
- Sustainability- As mentioned above, sustainability is perhaps the most important value to Eangee Home Design, and its value we share at The Futon Shop. We both recognize the urgent need to reduce our carbon foot print and to put out quality products that show that you don't have to hurt the planet to have nice things!
- Quality- All eangee home design products are made with an artisan attention to detail and attention to quality. The cast iron lamp frames are powder coated rather than spray painted and the floor lamps all have foot switches built in.

 Fossilization is the process of drying leaves over a three to four month period and then hand rubbing the chlorophyll of the leaf so only the leaf’s skeleton remains. This is a labor-intensive process and no corrosive chemicals are used. once the chlorophyll is removed, the leaf is stained in organic dyes. Since the leaves are natural, each one will absorb dye differently. The resulting effect is a lamp with different hues and shades (sometimes within the same leaf).
There are a few cases in which the leaf may have a small tear before it was adhered to the lampshade; due to the low-impact sealant eangee uses, no tear will increase in size nor will any leaf pull from the shade. Only 20 percent of the leaves make it through the entire process for use for these shades.
Once the leaf is stained, it is adhered to a heat resistant backing; similar to the backing found on any standard lamp. The artists cut each leaf to ensure that no leaf will overlap. Finally, a strong sealant is used to ensure the stability and integrity of the shade. |
