It's never a good sign when you have to call in order to get the price on a chair, but this one is worth highlighting despite its lack of available information. It's pretty new, so hopefully within the next week or two there will be a price posted.

Function meets poetry with this piece made entirely of a single sheet of felt wrapped over a metal base varnished in dark brown. A beautiful, comfortable and inviting chair.

dimensions: 43.25” x 35.5” x 17”seat height x 35.5”h
designed by dror, 2009 (this is the same designer who did the collection for Target posted a couple of days ago)

Price available upon request. Buy it here or here.

If you're shopping for outdoor furniture, you might consider this reinterpretation of the classic Adirondack chair. Made out of 100% recycled polyethylene, it'll stand up to the weather just fine with no maintenance. It should also be noted that if you ever tire of it (not that you would), it's fully recyclable as well.

A new take on a classic form, Loll's Adirondack Collection (2008) has a familiar look - but a uniquely modern green story. Greg Benson and Jeff Taly of Loll Designs have taken the time-tested shape of the Adirondack Chair and made it out of 100% recycled polyethylene. They estimate that eight recycled milk jugs go into each pound of a Loll Adirondack Chair, which is also 100% recyclable. This material is fade-resistant, waterproof and maintenance free. It is Loll's philosophy that "using green products should not mean you have to sacrifice anything; it should be better in every way than its non-eco-friendly counterpart." Made in U.S.A.

If you do a lot of recycling, at times it can take up quite a bit of space. Enter in the recycling center, with a few bells and whistles to organize your paper and plastic. If you don't need fanciness and/or have a tight budget, I'd recommend these bags for sorting (I have them and they work out just fine).

For inexpensive art, take a good look at Areaware's vinyl wall decals. The 98" x 18" wall panels might be the perfect thing for the end of a hallway or a ho-hum room. I'll post the larger wall vinyls in the remodel section later on this week (since they would work/look more like a wallpaper as far as coverage).

I've posted a few things from Iannone Design, but for some reason I missed posting this particular dresser. I like the more delicate hummingbird motif compared to some of their other designs (maybe because it's predominantly white with smaller touches of the kirei board).

Our popular graphic console series now comes in a six drawer dresser perfect for the bedroom. This sleek modern dresser is constructed with organic kirei board which is an environmentally friendly material made from the reclaimed stalks of the sorghum plant. It is pressed together in big blocks giving it an unique and pleasantly organic appeal. The modern dresser has gloss white lamination with a decorative graphic which gives a truly charming character to this piece. It also uses FSC certified wood - a green material.

Materials: Kirei, gloss white laminate, FSC maple plywood, stainless steel
The Signature 2.0 dresser comes with touch release drawers or optional stainless steel bar handles.
Dimensions: W 70" X D 20.25" X H 30"
$3,995.00, Buy it here.

These poufs not only add pattern and interest to a room, but also they add a soft texture to a seating area. Plus, you can't go wrong with anything done by Donna Wilson, or maybe you can and I just refuse to believe it.

Donna Wilson has come up with a playful response to the problem of occasional seating. She has designed a range of three low lying pouffes. Each is made by hand stuffing Calico bags and upholstering them with knitted panels, reminiscent of segments of an orange. The Pouffes come in two shapes, a slightly taller cylinder shape and a lower flattened ball shape. They are available in three colours and feature a distinctive geometric pattern. The Pouffes are designed to bring a little softness, intimacy and color into the home. Upholstered in a specially designed Donna Wilson knitted wool pattern made in Scotland.
