Design & Architecture (interiors)

Q Collection has bolstered their lineup of slick, modern, super-sustainable furniture. The new products, including the Eli table (pictured), Julia Coffee and End tables, Bessie Arm chair and Sophia sofa, all retain Q Collection's ethics for matching high eco-standards with high design (we mentioned their earlier work here). Under the umbrella goal of eliminating toxic chemicals, carcinogens and other contributors to poor indoor air quality from their furniture, founders Jesse Johnson and Anthony Cochran use only sustainably-sourced woods and have eliminated formaldehyde, polyurethane and toxic flame-retardants in their furniture, leaving only cleanly-produced, cleanly-designed, clean-living products fit for the modern world. Their flagship showroom is in FlatIron area of Manhattan, and their furniture is featured at the Design Center for the Americas in Dania Beach, Fla. and the Showplace Design Center in San Francisco. ::Q Collection
