Eco Solutions is one of the hundreds of manifestations of the considerable creative imagination of Guyanese women, reflected mostly in the agro-processing, craft, and furniture design sectors in Guyana. Their primary significance, up to this time, reposes in the truism that women have, over time, made a no less significant contribution to those sectors than their male counterparts.
The owner and director of Eco Solutions is an imposing-looking but amiable woman named Ndibi Schwiers-Ceres, who previously served as Director of the local Department of the Environment. The company’s promotional catalogue parades a number of eye-catching pieces of furniture, tastefully put together, and ‘decorated’ with local natural fibres that provide them with finishes that are, simultaneously, quaint and tasteful.
