BRAND ORIKOMI®
ORIKOMI® is an eco-friendly lighting Portuguese brand that develops handcrafted products using the origami technique. The brand ORIKOMI® was initially created in November 2013 as a pop-up store, with the main goal to raise funds for a non-profitable organization – Adobe for Women (aimed to support 20 women to build their own adobe houses). In January 2014, having the brand ORIKOMI® become so successful, the founders Ana Morgado and Carmo Caldeira decided to continue with the brand ORIKOMI® and it turned out to be the best decision they have ever made. The ORIKOMI® products are carefully handcrafted in Lisbon, Portugal, using high quality paper and having a great variety of colours and possible conjugations. These lamps are eco-friendly, require a low energy consumption (can only be used with LED or energy saving bulb) and are totally recyclable. Since 2019 the brand ORIKOMI® offers a carbon free shipping. The brand started a partnership with Carbonfund.org, a company that ensures the offset of ORIKOMI® shipping carbon footprint by supporting projects such as the Amazon forest conservation or the contaminated water treatment in Kenya. Following up this carbon-free shipping initiative, ORIKOMI® also provides an ecological packaging, using only compostable and recycled materials.
