Exotic Home, a furniture store located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a complete home furnishings store that evokes a sense of world travel with its furniture and accessories. In addition to the natural and beautiful artwork, sculpture and accessories offered for purchase at Exotic Home, the store sells furniture made from the coconut palm. The coconut palm helps farmers in Fiji produce more sustainable crops and is also sourced for beautiful, environmentally responsible furniture. The store also features beautiful hand carved and handmade treasures from around the world alongside organic, environmentally friendly and sustainable furniture and accessories. Buying a piece from Exotic Home allows you to bring a little piece of culture to your home in an environmentally minded way.
Unique Home Décor
In addition to furniture and artistic pieces from around the world, Exotic Home offers some unique home décor items that are sure to become a conversation piece in your home. A full line of water walls featuring many colors and styles would add a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere to any room. An added benefit of having a water wall in your home is its ability to clean the surrounding air using negative ions. A unique line of lamps featuring earthy tones and tripod bases are available. Other lamps feature mica lampshades or Moroccan style henna-dyed goatskin lampshades. Several different types of Native American themed wooden carvings are offered, along with practical wood items such as trays, picture frames and wastebaskets.
Furniture Made With Coconut Palmwood
In the Pacific Isles, the coconut palm tree is a popular crop with local farmers. However, there is one problem. Once the tree reaches maturity, about 85 years old, it stops producing coconuts and takes up valuable crop space. Cutting down the tree simply creates more waste, as the tree will not burn. Jamie Michaels, owner of Exotic Home, is helping farmers solve this problem. His mills help farmers clear out the mature trees to make way for a new crop of coconut-producing young trees. The old trees are taken through a rigorous process that turns them into the beautiful red-hued furniture available at Exotic Home’s store in Scottsdale. It’s a win-win situation for Jamie Michaels and for Fiji’s local farmers, who can continue to harvest their crops. It’s also a winning situation for the customer who purchases this beautiful and unique furniture.
Exotic Home Helps Customers Have a Green Home
Helping farmers sustain their livelihood is only one way Exotic Home operates in an environmentally friendly way, and passes this green mindset along to customers. The company is committed to supporting craftsmen and women from across the globe and to providing products that are organic or sustainable. The furniture offered at the Scottsdale, AZ store is constructed using no glue, chemicals, or stains, meaning it will have no negative impact on the air quality in your home. Customers may find sculptures made from recycled oil drums, hand carved wood pieces from Africa that support the Ndebele Art Project, or a line of organic mattresses made using handpicked cotton from Peru and pure wool from Holland. Each piece from different points on the globe helps support the work of local artists and handcrafters and creates a sustainable and healthy offering of home décor items.
Exotic Home enables customers to bring an exotic touch to their home décor, but it’s the stories behind the individual pieces that are most interesting. Having beautiful, unique, earth-friendly pieces in your home allows artisans from all over the world to build livelihoods from their craft. Purchasing from an environmentally responsible supplier, like Exotic Home, ensures that a beautifully decorated home and a healthy planet go hand-in-hand.
