In an effort to find like-minded eco affiliates, In2green is “Greening it with Seagrass” and has partnered with The Ocean Foundation (TOF) and it’s Seagrass Grow Initiative. We have created an environmental “give back” program, and will be donating 10% of sales of our new Eco Poly Seagrass themed throw to the Ocean Foundation’s Seagrass Grow initiative.

This summer could not have been made any more special than by receiving an Icon Honors Award for “Best New Product Innovation of 2016”! The Icon Honors, produced by AmericasMart Atlanta, recognizes companies and brands that stand out in the home and gift industry, and celebrates global innovation. We were recognized specifically for our indoor/outdoor sustainable gift collection of polyester throws made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles (approximately 78 bottles each!). This conscious manufacturing process offsets the need for new crude oil and in turn, conserves precious natural resources and energy. Finalists had a video produced for them– check out ours here.

This month, we are excited to celebrate our 10-year anniversary and launch our new catalog. We have come a long way—blooming from a small seed of an idea, into a full-fledged ideology and a way of living. From two women with a strong eco design concept, we have grown into over 700 stores across the U.S., and have touched several thousand people. Our mission continues to drive us towards ever greater innovation, sustainability, and high design.

With Father’s Day around the corner, a little revamping at home could do the trick to show you’re thinking of him. When decorating a man’s space, dark tones, leather sofas, sleek accents and the like often first come to mind. There are a multitude of other design trends for creating a more masculine space too, with some drawing on naturalistic details, and others incorporating contemporary design tropes.

As Earth Day approaches, we are reminded of what our planet needs and how we can contribute. We see the budding US “Maker Movement” at the forefront, forming an enclave of inventors and creators who aim to design rather than just consume, to spur rather than to inhibit local production and green thinking. Maker workshops have resurrected old values, as they emphasize artisan craftsmanship and product development processes that favor our environment.
