Eco Home Furniture Design Ideas

South African textile designer Ronel Jordaan takes her inspiration from nature, and uses felt to create these wonderful “stones”. The felt stones come from a women’s workshop in Gauteng where trained artisans transform interlocking fibers, made from 100% merino wool, into these freeform oversized floor cushions. Initially they fool the eye, until they provide immediately recognizable comfort to those in search of a relaxing seat. Soft yet buoyant, the veined, smooth textured cushions can be arranged to support seat and back.

These stately recycled aluminum candlesticks are molded to look like birch tree branches, and they provide all the reason you need to dine by candlelight this holiday season.

Handpicked from the beautiful Pacific Northwest Oregon beaches, these surf- and sand-smoothed driftwood baskets are handcrafted to form this multi-purpose basket that shows off nature at its most inspired. Be reminded of walks along the beach with this unique driftwood basket, which can be used to hold a variety of items or as a cachepot for one of your plants.

These Recycled Tin Can Tree Angels are made in Guatemala by a rural community cooperative, and these shiny ornaments will add a colorful eco-friendly flare to your holiday decorations- they’re made from recycled beverage cans. Bottle tops become angel faces, and the sides of the cans are refashioned into shiny robes and wings. Ingenuity and artistic vision transform wasteful litter into an eco-friendly tree topper very much in the spirit of the season.

These fabulous chairs elevate one-of-a-kind rare, vintage advertising rulers to an art form. An innovative designer attaches these authentic rulers to comfortable, solidly constructed chairs and secures them under a durable finish that won’t splinter, fade or stain. You could group them for casual dining or display one as functional art. Either way, this is a great idea for reclaimed wood rulers.

Designer Michael Aram’s handmade metalwork thatched bowls combines Eastern delicacy with Western substance, as well as classical and contemporary design motifs, in these highly distinctive eco-friendly bowls. His thatch bowls interlace recycled metal twigs so skillfully, that they appear to form nests that float on air. I think these are wonderful pieces, and they would make great gifts this season.
