We are always on the prowl for sturdy sustainable wood pieces, and the Neva chest and the Fusion coffee table are just that. Part of the new “Luxury Green” program launched by Vancouver-based Durante Furniture, both are available in wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and environmentally-friendly glues, stains, and construction materials. Jeffrey Braun designed Neva in interlocking, contrasting solid wood blocks. Simon Luethy's Fusion is a seamless merger of stainless steel and wood. It's also nice to note Durante is another established firm breaking the mold to introduce its own green line. ::Durante Furniture
