I Want One: Eco-Friendly Furniture

santos-coffeetable-thWe like wood furniture. And we like being good to the environment. And we really like the furniture from Environment Furniture.

They use reclaimed wood from southern Brazil, then fashion it into furniture with plank inlays and mosaic effects, using, as they say in a press release, “the wood’s natural character to create a collection that’s minimal, rustic, and, of course, environmentally responsible.”

Not to mention really cool.

They have a store just off Union Square in New York City, and you can see more of their stuff here: www.environmentfurniture.com

  1. Is it for sure eco friendly? do they support any “plant tree” program?

  2. As long as the wood is sourced in the country of purchase. I have heard stories of reclaimed wood being shipped around the world and sold to unsuspecting buyers. Totally defeats the object of trying to be eco friendly.

Have your say!
