Green is more than good, it’s beautiful

I am loving uhuru, a furniture design and build studio out of Brooklyn. Most of the materials they use are “reclaimed, recycled, repurposed, reused or otherwise rejected from their original function.”

The Bilge Lounge featured above is made from reclaimed materials (like used truck springs) and yet it’s so simplisticly perfect and modern.

To me, a good lamp can be hard to find in regards to it’s design lasting the test of time. However, I find this Stoolen Lamp above to be classic and timeless for many people’s aesthetic taste.

How amazing is this? I’m in LOVE with it and I want one in my studio!

For all you crafty green people out there, I thought this was too neat to pass up. Greetje van Tiem has created newspaper yarn, which can be woven into a variety of things. Check out how to make it yourself here.

Yes I believe Patrick Blanc is the most well known for the vegetal walls, esp. the Branley Museum.

We’re lucky enough in Melbourne to have had him here for the Design Festival and construct one in Melbourne Central station :)
