Seedling Designs

Seedling Designs is a design and production company driven by a strong environmentally friendly ethos, tackling the product design industry by offering sustainable, environmental friendly hand-made alternatives. Using a human-based approach, Seedling Designs adopts technology and local knowledge in each of its creative processes. In a world suffocated by plastic and non biodegradable products, we look at nature as a source of inspiration for our designs and as a source of raw materials ready to be up-cycled and reshaped to fit unexpected new purposes. Today there are more than twenty people involved in the process of the “Baobab Pod Journey”. Our workshop houses the work of many artisans, who assemble different pieces into our lampshades. The process starts with the unique perfection, or imperfection, of every ancient Baobab tree, which gives us the dry fruit pods ready to be shaped to continue the magical journey of nature.
