Wood you make the switch and move away from plastic organizing products, if you could?
A down-to-earth client and I have been researching wood-based (or bamboo) organizing products, not necessarily because they're eco-friendly, they're beautiful, functional, and sturdy.
From PlayEngine in the UK, comes this incredible LCD TV (right) and computer monitor (left) made of bamboo. The components on the cover, except for the buttons, are made entirely of bamboo. The electronic components are lead free and comply with CE and EU safety approvals.
From BusinessChairs.com, comes this Asian Pacific Hardwood Mat (right) perfect to save your carpet. Bamboo is easier on flooring since bamboo mats don’t use spikes to hold themselves in place. Made from all-natural products, unlike rubber chair mats which are made from petroleum based products.
Ballard Designs hosts these Grand Cru Wine Crates, crafted of fir with routered plank details and branded on all four sides with a charming label.
If wine isn't your thing, try these barn wood and chalkboard bins, from VivaTerra. Contain those newspapers, toys and craft supplies in something more earth-friendly, (and stylish.)
This unfinished cedar binder from Wood Box Supply is so unusual, with it's different tones of wood. Ships with a standard 3-hole ring, functional for to-go restaurant menus, a business card carrying case, or household binder.
Wood you know of any earth-friendly, wood or bamboo products? Please share.
