Leonardo DiCaprio and the Eco High End

Giramundo Swivel Chair, Recycled Multicolored Yarn
A couple of weeks ago, Time ran an article on how DiCaprio, Julia Roberts and the set designers from ABC’s Ugly Betty are buyers of Environment, a furniture store known for their minimalist lines and eco edge. Environment, is an interesting company because they’ve managed to successfully merge and market the concepts of high end and sustainability. They have two showrooms in California and one near Union Square that’s worth a visit. Like the chair above, most of their products are made from sustainable materials. One of their sofas has been upholstered with canvas from Brazilian truck tops and many of the tables are made from reclaimed Peroba harvested from derelict houses, barns and buildings in Paraná, Brazil.
