Ecologically Conscious Home Accessories by Mater of Denmark
Eco-entrepreneur Henrik Marstrand founded Mater, a Copenhagen based high end home accessory design company in 2006 which debuted at Maison et Objet fair in Paris in 2007. The company philosophy embraces ecological and ethical business practices that support people, local craft traditions and the environment. A team of gifted designers follow a vision that works to create timeless and beautiful home accessories form specialized materials. Two of my favorites include the marblewood collection made from black or white Jaipur marble or Indian hard wood sourced through official government auctions in India. The second are these ergonomically angled chopsticks made from stainless steel with bamboo nesting block inspired by a Japanese oki table setting. The entire collection of Mater produces is very refined and includes cutlery, candle holders, vases, and more.

Good thinking. I thought it's not just about the materials being used but it is also about using sustainable and natural materials, being fair and paying a fair price for handmade goods.
This is a nice post.
