BUILD is a German company which is serious about it’s environmental footprint. It has designed a shelf made entirely from ARPRO (Expanded Polypropylene), a high performance plastic foam containing 95% air. It is 100% recyclable, completely toxic-free, emission free, allergy free and even safe enough to eat! Equally great is the multifuntionality of its versatile and modular shelving units. They can be rearranged and stacked to become bigger or smaller depending on personal ne

Embracing the use of renewable and ecologically-sensitive resources as part of their green practices, the design company EKOBO uses only bamboo for their tableware collection BIOBU. Bamboo is one of the earth’s most fast-growing and naturally-regenerative resources available which can flourish organically without the need of pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides so detrimental for the surrounding environment. EKOBO collects the saw dust that is shed from cutting and shaping

Basalt is a volcanic rock which is pushed out by volcanic forces onto the earth’s surface. It is a thick, slow-flowing lava that has been found not only on earth and the Moon, but which has also been observed erupting on Jupiter and Venus. Raimonds Circulis is the creator of Maffam Freeforms and has been able to tame basalt and transform it into his incredible line of furniture. He uses a special weaving technique to shape his volcanic creations by hand into their desired fea

Jake Coan uses bamboo and brass wire to create lamps reminiscent of the swaying lines of clouds and floating bodies of leaves and flowers. Their organic, sensual lines embrace the light in a cocoon-like fashion, reminding of the fragility of nature and the need to keep it preserved. The reflected light is soft and warm, and the resulting rays of shadows are finely knit into a web of light and dark lines. Beautiful in style and design Coan’s lamps are a true experience of poe

By flipping and stacking the different components of these stools and tables into various heights, shapes and colours, the designers from MIO have introduced a great way of customising ones furniture so as to fit the needs of ones personal space.

The designers from Millican have resorted to using only 100% recycled polyester for the lining of their outdoor bag collections. Unlike virgin polyester, which is an energy-hungry, unsustainable synthetic fibre, recycled polyester uses PET plastic bottles as the raw material. In this process PET bottles are crushed, heated and passed through a spinneret to create yarn. After that it is passed through a crimping machine to give it a fluffy and wooly texture and later baled, dy

100% biodegradable, these wooden vases from Minimal Design are printed rather than crafted. They are made from a mixture of 70% corn and 30% recycled wood. Their clean lines offer a modern, personal touch of a standard household object, while their complex, geometric shapes underline the natural, asymmetrical contours of the plants they hold. #earthfriendly #biodegradable #ecoconscious #recycled #France

Reminiscent of the classic hip flask, The Bernard Flask is a travel back in time when vessels known to hold precious goods where made from strong, natural and durable material. Made solely out of elements from the earth, the flasks’ wooden caps are reclaimed whiskey barrels from a local Washington DC distillery. Inserted are two sets of strong neodymium rare-earth magnets which attach to the body, making it entirely leak proof and insulated. The body itself is handcrafted fro

Inspired by clouds in the sky, these airy pendant lamps are made from resistant laminated rice paper. Designed by 24 Degree Studios in Kobe, Japan, the lamps beautifully and equally disseminate their light due to their closed, round and vaporous structure. They are put together by interlocking white panels, which are delivered folded in a flat box, thus minimising the carbon footprint of the company. At last, a cloud that lights up our days and nights. #Japan #earthfriendly #
