Gender equality is a fundamental human right. Lyon Design Lab is owned and operated by women and mothers. We built it for our daughters. We believe ensuring equality among all genders is essential to a peaceful and prosperous world. We give a portion of our profits to I Demand Access, a Malawian grassroots organization, which pays the fees, uniforms and supplies for girls in Malawi to go to school and pursue education.

Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Those who have access to education become better citizens and are able to shape a better society. We give a portion of our profits to ParCo, an organization in Mozambique that runs a local preschool and pays school expenses for children who otherwise don't have access to education.

Ensuring a healthier planet for future generations is a commitment that requires dedication and behavioral change. We reuse and recycle our inventory packaging and our inventory pieces are often repurposed or upcycled (as a bonus, we think it adds charm and character to the spaces we design). And, our partners focus on environmental causes at a local level, such as sustainable farming, beach cleanups and saving endangered species.
