Welcome to Eco Home
Gecco Interiors was recently invited to take part in an exciting and interesting exhibit at the wonderful Geffrye Musuem in London called Eco Home. The Geffyre Museum showcases interior design throughout the ages and they wanted to take the opportunity to show how climate change will and is affecting our decisions for the inside of our homes.
‘This special exhibition at the Geffrye Museum will address widespread and increasing interest in the way that climate change and the state of the planet affects our homes and the way we use, decorate and inhabit them. Visitors to the exhibition will go away better informed about some of the issues around design and consumption which affect home life. At the same time they will be able to see that eco-friendly can also be chic and that aspiration towards good taste and design can go hand-in-hand with trying to help conserve the planet’s resources’.

The exhibit was designed by Eco Designer Oliver Heath who officially opened the display on Tuesday evening and I went along to see it. The exhibit takes the visitor through various issues from our use of energy and water in the home, through the innovation of new sustainable materials that are being developed, into cutting edge product design and finally, products that are already available to create a beautiful home in a sustainable way.
Organic Fabrics from Gecco Interiors
Gecco Interiors were proud to supply the organic fabrics and ceramic tiles with recycled content for the materials section of the exhibit courtesy of our innovative suppliers (Camira textiles, Malabar, O Eco Textiles and Johnson Tiles).
The exhibit runs from Tuesday 13 October 2009 to Sunday 7th February 2010 and is well worth a visit!
