Design & Architecture (bedroom)

We keep saying being green can be sexy. But Jenny White, founder of Eco-Boudoir doesn’t think sexy in a figurative sense, more the literal. “Like many people, I love to have luxuries in my home. But not at any cost. The more I looked into how luxury items are made the more convinced I became that there is a need for sustainability in this area.” Jenny has created a line of rugs, cushions, throws and ‘accessories’ suitable for Treehuggers who like to take their eco-values behind closed doors. The cotton is organic, the leather chromium-free from a closed loop tannery; the wool from free range; hormone and antibiotic-free alpacas; the silk created by wild Indian moths, that came to a natural end; and the furs are reused (which we initially took to mean from previous applications, although elsewhere on the site it mentions their furs are residual from meat production - a tad confusing.) Oh, and the cream on top (so to speak) is the inclusion of one our favs - bamboo fibre, for cushions. (Ps. It’s one of those Flash intensive sites) ::Eco-Boudoir via The Guardian Observer magazine
