The golden rule of design is to enhance and improve our lives, but this should not be at the expense of others. We personally check on the working environment, engaging with the artisans. Ethical design improves everyone’s way of life. FOCALPOINT is attentive to the long term development and preservation of the traditional arts the country we source from. We are supporting the Tunisian Artisans by buying from them directly- i.e. no intermediary buyer, which ensures they receive their rightful payment directly from us. If there is no market for the products the artists must find other employment and cease their craft. Focalpoint encourages the preservation of the traditional skills by finding new markets for the products. This will have a long term effect of encouraging long term employment.
