For the last 7 months, we’ve been amazed at the creativity behind sustainable furniture design. From retro to cutting-edge, using everything from natural wood to biodegrading synthetic materials and with an abundance of imagination, style, quirk, wit and flair, eco-friendly furniture design is proving anything but predictable.
Here’s a selection of some of the furniture that’s caught our eye. We’ve profiled hundreds, so enjoy this first roundup in our new series! Just look at these 34 beautiful designs:
