Woven Theory from Materials Monthly

We always jump for joy when the snailmailperson brings the little brown box of Jennifer Siegal's Materials Monthly. It always has new little treats to get underfoot and the occasional TreeHugger treasure, like this month's window coverings from Woven Theory. The Nguyen Family makes shades from soft bamboos and roots of exotic trees, twigs, twines, reeds and palm leaves. They honor a strict environmental code using only quick-replenishing plants, and only use plants indigenous to the area where the factory is located. Find them in trendy California restaurants like the Wilshire, Babalu, Ivy by the Shores or at ::woventheory via ::Materials Monthly
