A GLIMPSE OF MARIPOSA’S BEGINNING
MARIPOSA BEGAN IN 1984, on the heels of founder Livia Cowan’s youthful adventures, driving through Mexico with her sister in a camper. They delighted in artists’ respect for their history, passion for quality and versatile materials. They also recognized the potential for innovation. With the camper full of recycled glassware, Livia returned to Massachusetts, and set up shop in her parent’s garage. Mariposa was born. Nearly three decades later, the camper and the garage headquarters are gone but the small family-feel of the company remains. Sourcing from around the world has brought a myriad of new products and materials. Yet from the start we have recognized the need for ecological responsibility; the majority of our products were, and still are, handcrafted from 100% recycled aluminum and glass.
A GIFT FOR light.
