domino & TreeHugger's Green List: Furniture

As we mentioned yesterday, TreeHugger and the good folks at domino magazine put our heads together to create "The Green List," a celebratory list of the best in green design, people and places. Today, we'll take a closer look at the furniture (you'll find it on pages 36-37 of the paper mag) that was selected for its outstanding green credentials and fabulous design. From the more traditional, like Lee Industries' slipper chair (above, on the lower left) with soy-based cushions and Furnature's formal sofa (bottom row, right-center) that's 100% chemical-free, to the ultra-sleek and modern offerings of Q Collection's formaldehyde-free MDF (bottom right) and Rogan Objects' (bottom row, left-center) reclaimed wood & metal, these manufacturers' graceful, timeless work is all as beautiful as it is sustainable. Not be left out, Cisco Brothers' tufted ottoman (upper right corner) keeps with the company's exclusive use of FSC-certified wood, and, like many of the other offerings, ditches polyurethane and other contaminants in favor of water-based adhesives. Lastly, ABC Carpet & Home (upper left corner) is NYC's destination for low-impact furniture, fabrics and fine green design of any color. Pick up a copy of the mag to see it all, get more details at dominomag.com and stay tuned for a closer look at textiles, wallcoverings and more. ::domino's Green List: Furniture
