Design can make a difference.
That’s the ethos behind everything designed by Emilie O’Connor. A Melbourne-based designer, Emilie takes her inspiration from the unique Australian flora and fauna, and every design has a story, from the dreamtime Dugong mermaids to the seagrass and the Green Turtle.

“So many things are made without thinking what impact they have on the environment. I want to build an eco-friendly homewares and lifestyle brand that gives back to the environment enabling us to live more consciously and with a lighter footprint. I believe designers have a responsibility to use sustainable materials and manufacture products that minimise our impact on the environment. What we buy matters and how we use it makes a difference to the environment and our lives.” Emilie O’Connor
