Kate is inspired by minimalist Japanese design

IN CONVERSATION WITH Ecosophy

We chat to Kate Anderson, the founder of Ecosophy, about the inspiration behind her beautiful eco home textile brand

What inspired you to launch Ecosophy?

My inspiration came from many areas, including a four-year period living in Japan, which gave me an appreciation for the beauty of natural materials and minimalist design, and degrees in anthropology and development, which gave me insight into the cultural aspects of textile production and its impact on workers. I also have an idealistic desire to create homeware that will create beautiful homes and a more beautiful world. I spent about two years researching sustainable textiles and visiting producers in India, Bangladesh, Turkey and France before I launched Ecosophy in 2017.

Tell us about the ethos behind Ecosophy…

The ethos of the brand is expressed in our name, which combines ‘eco’– from the Greek oikos, meaning household – and ‘sophy’– from the Greek sophia, meaning wisdom. This dual meaning of ‘ecological wisdom’ and ‘household wisdom’reflects our ethos, which is to take an ecologically wise approach to homeware production and, through our journal, to promote this approach to interior decoration in general.

What’s a typical day for you?

I usually spend my mornings responding to emails and packaging up orders. I then spend my afternoons doing more creative work, like designing new collections and creating Ecosophy’s newsletter. Describe your style and inspiration…

I’ve been very much influenced by my time living in Japan, so I appreciate designs that are subtle and draw on the beauty of natural materials. I get a lot of inspiration from walks in the woods. I often find myself taking close-up photos of tree bark and hoping nobody sees me, as I must look a bit weird!

Who are you following on Instagram?

I’m really interested in the work of Fibershed, a global non-profit working on regenerative textile systems, and I enjoy following @southwestenglandfibreshed.

What’s your proudest career moment so far?

Simply getting Ecosophy off the ground and turning my dream into reality.

What does the rest of this year hold for you?

I’m working on some new collections and am planning to update Ecosophy’s journal much more regularly with posts exploring how homeware can help to create a more sustainable world.

Who would you like to collaborate with?

I would love to work more with interior designers. Before launching Ecosophy, I had toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as an interior designer and I’d love to connect with that industry more.
