Our EQ3 trip inspired me to look more into furniture and think about whether or not there were furniture companies out there who were concerned with sustainability. In my search I came across "BlueGreen & Co.", an organization which took pride in producing good looking, sustainable, modern furniture. Based in Fife, Scotland, they create their goods from waste materials in the form of unwanted furniture, which would otherwise be destined for landfills. This "Vagabond" dresser (image on right) for instance won an award at a design festival. Each drawer is hand-crafted from different reclaimed woods, including brown oak, sycamore, walnut, birch plywood, chipboard, and pine. The drawer knobs are all found objects as well.
