Materials & Craftmanship
“Sustainable
Approach”
As if Gaea ‘s meaning the goddess of mother earth and life’ responsible for a healthy sustainable cycle, our aim and effort is to be as green and sustainable as we can be.
Pieces are designed with flexibility of use, durability, timeless and desirability in mind.
Gaea works primarily with natural materials, embracing their unique character and color as an integral part of design. These high-quality materials have minimal to no chemical processing and no harmful additives. The natural materials we work with are carefully selected for their natural qualities and their ability to grow more beautiful with age and use.
“We follow a philosophy of kids health and safety,
local manufacturing and material selection.”
