Project Description

At Evon Furniture & Co, our mission is to empower communities of color by providing high-quality home décor and furniture pieces created, manufactured, and/or designed by people of color. We believe that by showcasing the talent and creativity of black and brown creators, we can make a difference and help support those who look like us. Our commitment to sourcing exclusively from people of color allows us to put money back into our communities and create a more equitable future.

Communities of color have historically been underrepresented in the furniture and home décor industry. This lack of representation leads to limited opportunities for black and brown creators to showcase their talent and for consumers to find pieces that reflect their unique style and personality. Evon Furniture & Co aims to address this issue by providing a platform for black and brown creators to showcase their talent and by offering high-quality, diverse options for consumers.

The furniture and home décor industry is a $200+ billion market in the US alone. However, despite the size of the market, there is a lack of diversity and representation in the industry. By exclusively sourcing from people of color, Evon Furniture & Co taps into an untapped market with huge potential.

Evon Furniture & Co offers a solution to the problem of underrepresentation in the furniture and home décor industry. By exclusively sourcing from people of color, we offer a diverse range of high-quality home décor and furniture pieces that reflect the creativity and talent of black and brown creators. Our platform not only supports these creators, but it also offers consumers a unique and diverse shopping experience.

We are seeking funding to help us continue to grow and expand our mission of empowering communities of color. The funds will be used to increase our inventory, expand our marketing efforts, and enhance our e-commerce platform. With your support, we can continue to provide high-quality home décor and furniture pieces while empowering communities of color.

We would like to thank our backers for supporting our mission to create a more equitable future. Your support not only helps us continue to offer diverse and high-quality products but also supports black and brown creators who have historically been underrepresented in the industry. We appreciate your support and look forward to creating a world where the beauty and diversity of black and brown creators are celebrated and seen.

At present, our team comprises the owner, Nicole Collett, and her executive assistant, Brittany Smith, who are spearheading the initiative.
