ORIGINS
The Zoco Home origin story has much to do with our current goal as a growing furniture and home decoration brand. Zoco Home’s founding principle was to support and work with artisans throughout the world, sharing their stories through design, with the world.
Inspired by travel across Morocco, Indonesia and other countries rich in culture, Johanna Weckström founded Zoco Home on the foundations of deep appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, natural materials and the magic of unique pieces.
With 10 years on our backs, now more than ever we are deepening our core values of simplicity and authenticity which are now developing new roots as we look towards an even more sustainable future as we strive to improve our social responsibility as a brand.
SUSTAINABILITY
Browsing through our collections you will recognise one characteristic that is consistent throughout: beautiful products made using natural materials.
Organic cotton, linens, woven seagrass, recycled wood, jute, bamboo and rattan are just a few of the materials used in our products. Some of these natural materials are more obviously green examples such as recycled wood and certified cottons where the name speaks for itself. However, materials such as seagrass, jute, bamboo and rattan are also widely accepted sustainable materials due to their fast regenerative cycle, low waste production and the traditional farming methods used which are eco-friendly by nature. Not to mention that all these materials are completely biodegradable.
