Marovo Island Traders

Born at the crossroads of heritage and design, Marovo Island Traders is an ethically driven social enterprise rooted in the lagoon communities of the Solomon Islands. At their heart is a celebration of fossil coral, an ancient natural material transformed by master artisans into extraordinary lighting that tell stories of time, land and purpose.

For generations, the people of Marovo Lagoon have cultivated the art of carving, a craft imbued with cultural meaning, connection to nature and reverence for ancestral knowledge. Today, Marovo Island Traders brings that tradition to life through mindful making. Each pendant and wall light embodies a dialogue between the past and the contemporary.

As a social enterprise, Marovo Island Traders places ethical collaboration and community empowerment at the core of their practice. Every design supports not only artistic excellence but also sustainable livelihoods for the artisans of Marovo. By designing with fossil coral lighting, they honour tradition while shaping contemporary interiors, offering pieces that bring depth and meaning to every space.
