South African born Barri and Nikki Stear, are the husband and wife team behind Native Interiors. On moving to Australia they wanted to start a business that allowed them to showcase African and artisanal design to the world, whilst uplifting and empowering these talented crafters and their communities by ensuring they receive a fair price for their products as well as ethical working conditions.

All Native Interior’s Collections are carefully curated by Nikki’s discerning eye. Nikki has a background in ethical and sustainable fashion and design. Whilst living in South Africa Nikki founded and continues to be the editor of Live Eco, an online publication dedicated to eco fashion, beauty and lifestyle as well as founding The Live Eco Remake Design Challenge, a sustainable design competition that challenges students and emerging designers to create mainstream clothing and objects whilst adhering to sustainable design principles and eliminating waste in their production methods.

We support the notion of trade not aid.
