EcoDeco is a sustainable and innovative home décor research institute that recycles household waste (eggshells, expired eyeshadows, etc.) into unique and environmentally friendly home décor items.

EcoDeco gives a second life to expired eyeshadows and eggshells, creating a new range of soft and hard home décor materials. Eco Deco allows each user to customise their own unique eggshell home furnishing piece by choosing the color and material texture on the website.

The patterns are inspired by the woven patterns of traditional home decor from the 60's and the interesting way women used eye shadow. Each home furnishing item has its own label showing its carbon footprint and environmental impact, encouraging consumers to make environmentally conscious choices.
