The Green Design 100
Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.
Crate & Barrel Jardin Chair
Bringing a whimsical, found-object feel to the sustainable realm, this '40s-inspired chair — one of 50 eco-amenable upholstered styles offered by Crate & Barrel — features a kiln-dried-hardwood frame and soy- and corn-based cushions (in place of petroleum-based ones), and still feels as if it were discovered in the back room of a vintage shop.
