About originalhome
We are a group of (independent) professionals who put their passion and expertise towards a social cause: to make this world greener and people friendlier. We are building an eco-design brand that supports an ethical and sustainable business model that contributes to a better distribution of wealth in the global home decoration industry. We are a social enterprise and put planet & people before profit.
How we started
We started Original Home Company in 2013 as an exporter of furniture and home decoration accessories from Indonesia.
Our products were almost exclusively created in cottage industries in rural villages. Although successful, we realized that our designs and sustainability philosophy would be better conveyed to end consumers as our own independent brand instead of being part of the assortment of other home decoration brands that do not carry our drive for a better world: originalhome was born!
Originalhome in short
Originalhome is an international brand for eco & ethical home decoration and gifts.
As a wholesale business, we design, produce, import, and distribute eco-design products for sustainable interiors. Our collection is sold throughout Europe via interior stores, chain stores, department stores, architects, and interior designers. We aim to minimize our impact on the planet and its people. Did you know that 75% of our collection is made from waste materials and that originalhome is the only brand with a wide range of truly sustainable home accessories? We work on a fair trade basis with small social entrepreneurs from Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Tanzania to improve job opportunities and equal distribution of wealth. Besides fair pricing, 20% of our profit is donated to local social causes.
