By shopping these brands, you can help make a small—but mighty—difference. It’s an easy way to feel good while making your space look good—and who doesn’t want that?

They partner with master artisans from around the world, blending modern style with time-tested techniques. By personally traveling to each country and using only local materials, they avoid material shipping emissions to produce immaculately crafted, fair-trade goods.
The Citizenry Adia Planter
This planter is a real gem. Paired with a tiny cactus or air plant, it makes the perfect gift. Its geometric form featuring the rich Mugavu wood grain makes it a sculptural work of art for desk or shelf styling. Brilliantly hand carved from a single block of wood by master artisans, the craftsmanship behind this piece is stunning. Each piece is hand carved by a group of fifteen seasoned woodworkers in the Nakawa region, made exclusively in a fair trade environment. In the spirit of sustainability, the cooperative replants trees to replenish this precious resource for future generations. Photo Courtesy of Gardenista
