Designer Home Furniture can be attained while living within your boundaries of eco-friendly living. The trick is to shop carefully! Only buy pieces that are actually green and research to ensure that the product doesn’t just appear to be green. Many companies are jumping on the eco-friendly living bandwagon by greenwashing products to appeal to those of us who care about the sustainability of our lifestyles.
Bamboo is a good example of this. It’s an inherently green resource because it is so fast growing, requires no pesticides or harmful chemicals during it’s growing period. However, many furniture companies will build something out of bamboo and then stain it or seal it with a toxic compound. Technically, whatever they’ve constructed is still “green” but is it green enough for you?
Look for pieces like this tetris inspired bamboo shelf by Brave Space Design. It’s finished with an organic herbal oil and then treated with a non-toxic durable water based finish. This piece would look amazing in almost any space with the shapes harkening back to the good old days of the 80′s. You can look backwards in time while protecting the future! Beautiful and sustainable do not have to be opposing terms.
