Taking the “Grand Tour” at La Lune Collection

One of our favorite things to do at La Lune Collection is to open our doors to tour groups.  Our furniture, factory, and company history provide ideal educational tools for  teaching others about entrepreneurship, eco-friendly manufacturing, and general “life lessons”.  Therefore, school and civic groups of all ages – from grade school classrooms to retirement home residents – regularly come for the “grand tour” of La Lune Collection, where they are treated to animated commentary provided by La Lune co-founder, Mario Costantini.

Recently, we were delighted to receive a visit from some enthusiastic members of Teens Grow Greens.  As the website of this Milwaukee-based organization explains, “Teens Grow Greens is a skill-building employment program fostering the growth of healthy, productive leaders”. We’re happy to share some photos of these wonderful high school students as they take the “grand tour” of La Lune Collection with tour guide Mario!
