Handpicked: eTTa designs
Each week here at EcoSalon, I beg my favorite bloggers and designers to hand select a beloved green product, whether it’s a finish, furnishing, or accessory. The end result? An endless anthology of aesthetically perfect products for your perusal.
This week we are graced with the presence of Rachel Winokur, founder of eTTa designs; this gracious and talented designer is a qualified wealth of sustainable knowledge (just follow her Facebook for ample and consistently lovely product finds and inspirational industry updates). Ms. Winokur has selected the Acacia Chair from Cisco Brothers‘ Basal Living Collection. This chair is as environmentally friendly “from seed to shelf” as it is gorgeous – with, -¦a beautiful silhouette which adapts to different room styles and is extremely comfortable.”
If you need a little extra validation, just look how stunning the chair is resting in the Sea Wellness Spa at Hotel Casa del Mar. By the way, this feast of texture and light is the design work of none other than eTTa designs. Don’t miss the great story or blog behind this innovative design firm.

If Cisco Brothers still has you swooning, you will drool for these tufted beauties, too.

Thanks Leigha for sharing my top green pick with your readers. Sitting in the Acacia feels like a recliner because it is so deep that your legs dangle off just a bit (so a little floor pillow is the perfect landing pad) and cradles your head when you tilt it back just a bit. Also, I upholstered it in Sensuede, made entirely with recycled polyester! The fabric is so soft and actually feels like suede yet it’s extremely durable and thus ideal for families with kids and commercial applications. http://www.sensuede.com
