One of the really hot brands at CES 2014 was the House Of Marley with some of the biggest names in Hip Hop and Reggae music turning up at their stand to admire the latest on offer from a Company that goes out of its way to manufacture eco friendly products.
While other stands tried to look cool the House of Marley stand was cool according to some of the biggest names in music who appeared to be impressed by not only the products on show but the look and feel of the bags, headphones and other gear which is set to show up in Australian stores this year.
the House of Marley stand had a very different feel about it and an atmosphere that was more about hanging out than a retail spruiking stand.

What is impressive about the House Marley is that they actually go out of their way to design products that are eco friendly and green.
I met up with Rohan Marley in the Samsung Smart Lounge at CES 2014 where he spoke about the birth of the Marley Coffee Company.
He claims that consumer electronic products have to be a “lot more than just aesthetics,” he says. “It’s about functionality, the purpose of it, and really having that quality and sound.”
He adds, “And with sustainable and using eco-friendly materials, we’ve also captured our space.” He says that his brand’s identity is rooted in his father Bob Marley’s values. “One love. Peace. Unity. Working together for a better world.”
He’s also introduced new bluetooth technology and headphones for his products.
“Because we’re about the lifestyle,” Marley says. “What we have is an extension of expression … We keep that relationship with our people, our father’s fans.” He adds, “My father has a movement that started before us. As his children, we are just the stewards to build on his foundation.”
As for starting Marley Coffee, he notes that he found a farm in Jamaica and found out that there was coffee on the land. From there, he took the time to build his own company, using a one-on-one approach and building upon his business and lifestyle philosophy.
