Aerende is an online shop selling carefully crafted homeware products, all of them made in the UK by people facing social challenges and who are unable to access or maintain conventional employment.
Aerende operates as a social enterprise in which all makers, and the organisations who represent them, are integrally involved. Their tagline of ‘life-improving homewares’ reflects their commitment to sourcing and designing unique, limited-edition products that will bring both joy and utility to their customers, as well as a sense of purpose, pride and revenue to their makers.
Aerende specialises in simple, cosy pieces for your home, from ceramics and candles to cushions. Founder Emily Mathieson goes to great lengths to consider every element of the production process and her commitment to running a responsible business is truly inspiring.
