With a mission to help global artisans sell their wares, The Little Market sought to design its non-profit office space with authentic, solid wood furniture.

  
 

the foundation

  

A platform that connects makers with businesses to sell their wares.

The Little Market was born out of a desire to provide artisans and entrepreneurs with a way to exercise economic autonomy. The company was founded by Lauren Conrad, of reality television fame, and Hannah Skvarla. Together, with Conrad’s fashion and design background and Skvarla’s experience in non-profits and human rights advocacy, the two women were able to launch a platform that connects makers with businesses to sell their wares.
   
   

In the realm of fair trade and empowering underserved communities, The Little Market stands as a non-profit organisation committed to extending the reach of artisans and producer groups globally. Seeking to create a warm and inviting office space that aligns with their mission, The Little Market selected Ethnicraft designs for their office space in Los Angeles.  
 
 

Office design goals

“Seeking to create a warm and inviting office space that aligns with their mission, The Little Market selected Ethnicraft designs.”
 

Working together to best suit the space, The Little Market and Ethnicraft carefully selected furniture pieces to infuse warmth and minimalism into the office, resulting in an organised and thoughtful environment in which to best serve the company’s mission. The choice of solid wood furniture, such as the Mikado dining table, Mikado side table and Bok chairs in solid oak, adds natural warmth and durability to the space. The clean lines of Belgian design created a minimalist aesthetic of elegance and simplicity with a homelike atmosphere.

  

The Billy drawer units and Bok coworking desk contributed to a functional and harmonious workspace, enabling productivity while maintaining the look and feel of a comfortable home office. Ethnicraft's Billy drawer unit provided essential storage solutions, ensuring an organised and clutter-free space.

“The clean lines of Belgian design created a minimalist aesthetic of elegance and simplicity with a homelike atmosphere.”

The combination of Ethnicraft's furniture pieces with Conrad’s design aesthetic created an inviting atmosphere where employees can feel empowered and inspired. The use of solid wood and minimalist design celebrated the craftsmanship and cultural techniques of artisans, aligning perfectly with The Little Market's values.  

By curating a workspace that radiates warmth and authenticity, Ethnicraft brought The Little Market's vision to life. The careful selection of furniture pieces created an environment where individuals could connect with the organisation's mission, celebrate artisanal craftsmanship, and empower underserved communities worldwide.
