With this award, PETA recognizes Brighton-based interior designer Chloe Bullock’s dedication to ethical design. She works with businesses and individuals to make cruelty-free spaces possible, combining her in-depth knowledge of vegan materials with inspiring cruelty-free decor, says PETA. Her studio is B Corp Certified and Vegan Design Certified.
“Thanks to brands such as our award winners, more and more cruelty-free options are available for shoppers who want to avoid leather, feathers, wool, and silk. Animals are not ours to wear or decorate our homes with. Before their skin or hair reaches shop shelves, animals endure a life of misery, pain, frustration, and fear — and many are skinned alive,” says PETA.
