eco-cool furniture by iannone design

Ooh liking this halftone coffee table from the creative minds of Iannone Design for myriad reasons. For one, it’s made of ecofriendly formaldehyde-free bamboo plywood. For two, that’s no veneer or screenprint on the surface of the table. That’s inlaid wood, your choice of maple (on natural bamboo) or walnut (on amber bamboo) to be exact. For three, you can choose a square or rectangle shape in two different heights to fit your room. And for four, they’ve finished the piece with waterbased shellac and a low VOC topcoat. Ahhhhh.

I think their (sustainable) walnut and (renewable) cork mosaic sideboard is pretty boffo too, for equally grand reasons.

Thoughtful and clever, the whole package.

Hop on over to Plushpod to see the table and much more. See Iannone for more cool furniture too.

rustic bamboo bed by high touch

i am visualizing a room at the regent in fiji (which apparently is now the westin denerau) with this bed in it. how apropos that it is named the aitutaki (well, i was pretty close).

made from natural chunky bamboo, a more private sleeping experience can be had with a tug of the breezy curtains hung from the top.

but for those unfortunate bed linens, it looks like a raft you would lazily float down a river on in a dream.

see more hefty bamboo furniture from polish furniture company high touch here.
