White And Blue Sailboat Wall Decor – 1 x 9 x 11

The sailboat is a common and familiar scene at most beaches. The Yellow Blue and Gray Sailboat Wall Decor brings home the well-known features of this iconic boat. The spinnaker is fully inflated and pops away from the wall with the rope tangling on the side. The headsail, usually the more colorful, is adorned with capiz shell which gives it a shine as it reflects the sunlight. The artist enhances the authenticity of the hull by painting it with a distressed finish, showing a well loved and traveled vessel. The basic frame of the wall sailboat is created using tin, which is powder coated in a black finish. The frame is reinforced using wrought iron wire inner edge or outer edge. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz can come through as tans and browns underneath the paint. The final step is to hand-paint the sailboat, giving this piece a rustic finish and feel.

Story Behind the Art:
A gecko lamp started it all. While vacationing in the Philippines in 2003, the founder of Eangee Home spotted the charming piece. A talk with the creator sparked an idea, and upon returning home he and his partners opened a small retail store to sell the lamp and similar items. A few years later they realized that if they shifted their focus to becoming a distributor they could bring a wider variety of unique, sustainably made products to the market. They decided to focus their partnerships with makers in the Philippines since the concept of creating by hand and being detail oriented is part of their cultural tradition. The unique designs they offer are a result of a collaboration of their experience from years in retail, and the creative minds of the artisans with whom they work. They are committed to ensuring that all of their products are eco-friendly and are made of renewable and/or recycled materials with food- based dyes and low-impact finishes.While the business has grown, they’ve stayed true to their core mission of filling people’s homes with sustainable products while supporting the talented makers who create them. To help ensure this, all makers they partner with have access to clean, safe working spaces, living wages, healthcare, continuing education, and quality housing. Eangee Home is a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council; a coalition of manufacturers, retailers, and designers dedicated to raising awareness and expanding the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices across the home furnishings industry.
