Eco Friendly Furniture and Design
We stock a number of eco friendly furniture designers at Brass&Burl, so we thought we’d share with you this great article from Veranda on ‘How to Decorate Your Home in an Eco-Minded Way‘.
Written by associate digital editor, Lauren Wicks, who speaks to Oregon’s interior design darling, Andee Hess. Since founding her studio, Osmose Design, 12 years ago, Hess has earned a reputation for creating retail spaces for some of the region’s most visible brands such as Stumptown Coffee.
Andee said:
Being surrounded by green space and nature definitely has a direct impact on your desire to preserve and care for the environment. It is wonderful to see how the mentality toward responsible design continues to evolve and become more of an awareness and regular practice. Good change is happening in the world.
Here at Brass&Burl we stock the likes of David Francis, whose name is synonymous with sustainable eco-friendly wood. His company are always looking at new ways to protect the environment on both a local and global level. A true pioneer in creating eco-friendly and sustainable furniture using materials such as bamboo, rattan, abaca and lampacanay, David Francis uses only plantation- grown hardwoods – meaning no wood species are utilized from endangered rainforests.
Alongside David at our store is the divine Selamat Designs, a husband and wife team whose approachable designs range from traditional, glam and boho-chic. They believe that style and eco-friendly manufacturing practices should never be mutually exclusive. From twisted jute to intricate carvings and woven rattan, every Selamat piece supports local artisans and economies.
And don’t sleep on the sublime Slowtide beach and surf accessories, who blend design and functionality while maintaining premium, sustainable quality. Slowtide is dedicated to leaving a positive impression on the planet. All of their cotton is certifiably sourced through the Cotton LEADS program, assuring the material is responsibly produced. Additionally, all of their polyester products are made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste, primarily plastic bottles, transforming it into premium polyester fibers.
