What we buy, how we discard waste, and the steps we take to make our homes more energy efficient are all seemingly small decisions. But, when taken collectively, these choices have a big impact.
Informed choices develop alternative markets for sustainable and ethically-sourced goods, and reduce our dependence on energy sources that are both finite and polluting.
Today it is almost impossible for consumers to actually see and touch and evaluate all the different technological solutions that maximize energy efficiency. It is equally challenging to access the most exciting creations of independent designers committed to respecting the environment throughout the product lifecycle.
The ECO vision is to create a full-service one-stop-shop in which people can find beauty, design, inspiration, ideas, advice, and apply concrete solutions for green living. The ECO answer is compelling: improvement without compromise.
Eco is an exciting new retail concept and the first of its kind – a store, showroom, consultancy and green hub that offers inspiration, ideas and specific domestic solutions for all those who want to lead a greener and more energy efficient life

Name Position For as long as he can remember Nicola has been concerned about the consequences of our behavior on the environment. From an early age he became keenly interested in the possibility for renewable technologies to provide a solution. "I built my first solar panel when I was 13!" he recalls. At university Nicola studied economics and business, and his dissertation explored the question of how we will move from fossil fuels to renewable sources. "The idea for starting Eco Age came when I realized that there did not exist a physical place where it was possible to connect the growing supply and demand for sustainable goods and services. There really was a hole in the market - and it was clear to me that I had to take action to fill it! Eco Age is where I place my hope for a better world!" |

Name Position Livia is one of the driving forces behind Eco's business and marketing strategy. "Over the years, Colin and I have become so much more aware of the fact that as individuals we have a responsibility to respect our environment, if not for ourselves then certainly for our children. So when Nicola told us about this project, we decided without a moment's thought that we would support it. Eco is all about making simple and positive choices to improve our environment, and our homes are the place where this starts." |

Name Position Alessandro is a trained actor and started working at Eco in between jobs. "Nicola is my twin brother and when he called me to help him at Eco I could not resist the temptation. I love the whole concept of the green hub, it is very rare to be bored here! I am constantly surrounded by wonderful designers and the creative challenge of finding new products is very fulfilling." |
