Mad About the House: Ethical Lights
We recently featured in Mad About the House’s special blog on '12 of the Best Ethical lighting Sites'. Kate Watson-Smyth offers an insight into our sustainability ethos - and of course, it includes some our own beautiful vintage lights, plus other ethical brands including our neighbours down here in Cornwall, Tom Raffield.
“Vintage lighting can be a good way to source ethical products, saving something from landfill and giving it new life. Skinflint sources lights from across Europe made between 1920 and 1970 before restoring them all for modern homes. They are also a member of the Lighting Industry Association and offer a Full Circle buy-back scheme so you can trade yours in for something different should your decor or desires change.” Kate Watson-Smyth, Mad About the House
