Our Story
Headquartered in Lawrence, Kansas, Eangee Home Design’s journey began over 8,000 miles away in the Philippines. During his travels, Clyde Godfrey discovered a unique, handcrafted gecko lamp that reminded him of his son Chris, who had a terrarium filled with geckos as well as a variety of amphibians. Inspired by the lamp’s unique design and eco-friendly materials, Clyde saw an opportunity to introduce such distinctive items to the U.S. market.
Our Commitment to People and Fair Trade
We believe in the power of our products, but more importantly, we believe in our people. As a fair-trade company, we are dedicated to improving social standards by ensuring living wages, healthcare, continuing education, and quality housing for our artisans. We partner with family-run producers in Cavite and Bulacan, Philippines, whom we visit regularly and interact with daily. These strong partnerships are the foundation of our handmade, high-quality decor, allowing us to offer products that reflect both exceptional craftsmanship and ethical production practices.
Expansion and Innovation
From our humble beginnings, we quickly expanded to supply retail stores across the U.S. with our distinctive lighting and home decor. Today, our products are available in all 50 states and seven countries worldwide. Lighting remains the cornerstone of our company, setting us apart with its eco-friendly and durable designs. Our lights are crafted using colorfully dyed cocoa leaves, handmade papers, and other renewable materials sourced from the Philippines.
Diverse Product Range
While the Gecko Lamp was the starting point, our product range has grown to include a variety of accessories that keep pace with trends in home design. Our wall decor, crafted using capiz oyster shells, is a prime example. The process begins with collecting and drying the shells, which are then carefully inlaid on a metal frame. Each piece is hand-painted, resulting in beautiful, one-of-a-kind items that add a unique touch to any space.
We are constantly expanding our designs with new ideas, ensuring that our collection evolves with the latest trends while staying true to our commitment to sustainability.
Staying True to Our Values
As we continue to grow and evolve, Eangee Home Design remains steadfast in our core values: creating sustainable, natural home goods while supporting the people and communities that make our products possible. We are proud to offer unique, eco-friendly decor that not only enhances homes but also promotes a better world.
