Many Moons Design is a small, craftsmanship-based company in Lexington, Kentucky. They salvage wood and other materials to make beautiful furniture with designs ranging from rustic to modern. They also use a beautiful selection of woods, including colored woods, walnut and white oak. Some of the wood even comes from famous landmarks such as the Jim Beam distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. Pretty neat!
Viesso, a Santa Monica based company, makes custom green furniture that’s ready to ship in three weeks. All furniture is made right in Los Angeles. They offer 17 couch and sectional shapes and 9 armchairs in a practically endless variety of fabrics. You then also have the choice of leg shape and cushion interior materials, spring type, etc., and you can build and price out your exact piece on their website.
Emeco* designs are simple, elegant, timeless, and award-winning, but did you know that their furniture is also super green? Emeco furniture is hand-made from 80% recycled aluminum — half of which is post-consumer (soft drink cans) and the other half is post-industrial (manufacturing scrap). Because of this, their furniture can contribute to LEED points in your green project (MR 4.2/5.1).
The second thing that makes Emeco’s furniture so green is that their pieces are made to last for at least 150 years! In this day of disposable furniture that lasts for maybe a decade, 150 years is an impressive lifespan. Emeco’s designs come in two standard finishes, brushed and polished.
There are not a lot of choices out there for eco-lighting or eco-sinks, but Bear Creek Glass is one nice option. Bear Creek Glass is an artisan company that creates beautiful, artful glass sinks and lighting. Half of their products are made from 100% recycled glass and the others are made partially of recycled glass. Styles range from traditional and antique to simple and modern.
Mod Green Pod offers a burst of modern fun to the eco-fabric market. The company also produces wonderful wallpaper patterns. Their fabrics are 100% organic fabric and the wallpaper is vinyl-free. The fabric is hand silk-screened, which is an incredibly tedious and artful process. You can view photos of the printing process at their site. They currently offer 8 pattern choices in about 30 colors. The signature prints are bold, colorful, and totally modern.
