Our history

That is the story of home on earth and its two founders Mette (Faarevejle, Denmark, 1975) and Stefan (Stuttgart, Germany, 1971). Home on earth was born in 1998 when their paths crossed in Indonesia. Back to nature and to environmental awareness, these are the goals of this project that the two have been pushing since then. 

Since the two of them met in Southeast Asia, they have been moving around the world and, with their keen sense and experience, have been looking for local craftsmanship in many parts of the world. Mette and Stefan lived in some of these communities themselves and worked with the products that make up the wide range of home on earth today.

Before the two settled in Barcelona , they were touring the world with their products at many markets and festivals. In 2003 they finally pitched their tents in the Catalan capital and opened the first home on earth store in 2010 in the heart of the Raval district in Barcelona. In addition to the shop, home on earth and his team can also be found at many European trade fairs and exhibitions throughout the year. The result of all the travels and experiences is an exquisite selection: products from all over the world, inspired by nature and manufactured using a fair and sustainable manufacturing process.

Responsibility Respect for nature, humans and animals. Promotion of fair and sustainable working conditions. Direct cooperation with producers - without intermediaries. Promotion of fair and sustainable manufacturing processes. Waste reduction, reuse & recycling.

Inspiration Home on earth works according to the principle of respecting nature and living in harmony with the environment and oneself. We always keep this principle in mind when designing and selecting our products and draw our inspiration from it.

Green care Sustainability is our top priority. It is important to us to conserve resources. For this reason we only use organic, recycled and reusable materials for home on earth products. Most are internationally certified.

Fairness Home on earth works directly on site with selected partners. The whole thing happens without intermediaries. This is the only way we can guarantee that all products are manufactured under fair working conditions in a sustainable process. There is a story behind every home on earth product. This is important to us.

Wellbeing Being outdoors is good for the mind and body. Nature inspires and makes people feel good. When designing our products, we try to bring this sense of wellbeing back home through high-quality design and the use of natural and organic materials.

Yoga, body and mind Allow yourself a moment of calm to find yourself and your environment. With every breath you relax your body and mind and achieve harmony with all living beings. 

Inspiration Respecting nature and living in harmony with the environment and ourselves is our inspiration.
