Inspired by the small towns, dirt roads, and rolling fields of her childhood, she uses totally <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/new-york-international-gift-fair-showcases-hot-sustainable-designs-featuring-natural-materials/">organic materials</a> and processes to create simple yet elegant products that highlight each design's natural properties. Now based in New York, Bethany focuses on environmentally sound alternatives to New York's often fast-paced fashion industry.

Inspired by the small towns, dirt roads, and rolling fields of her childhood, Bethany Mallett uses totally organic materials and processes to create simple yet elegant products that highlight each design's natural properties.

All materials, besides the 100% Fair Trade Kapok used to fill the pillows, are sourced domestically and the majority of products are assembled locally in New York City.

The Hook Pillow was inspired by family ties. The illustration is an ode to Bethany and Jenna's dad, Ed, and all their family fishing trips over the years.

Teaming up with sister Jenna Mallett, Bethany focuses on the design aspects while Jenna creates nature-inspired and nautical illustrations that embellish many of the products. The Sailor-Knots place mat is pictured above.

The limited edition handmade barn wood mirrors reflect a personal history- they are made from reclaimed cedar from the family's farm in Ohio.
