Recycled Wood Revolution Innovative designers look to the past for a solid, evironment-friendly future.  Reclaimed Brazilian wood: The Santos platform bed from Environment Furniture. If you think the only way to get vintage furniture into your home is to cruise the Salvation Army – or your grandmother’s house – think again. Home-furnishings shoppers are asking for environmentally conscious pieces, and that’s what manufacturers are giving them. “The environmental issue is getting stronger, so it reinforces what we do,” says Thomas Bina, chief designer and creative director for Los Angeles-based Environment Furniture, Inc. EFI combines reclaimed Brazilian peroba wood – ranging from 70 to 100 years old – with new mahogany in its beds, tables and accent pieces. The aesthetic is what Bina calls organic contemporary, or eco-chic. This ain’t your grandma’s furniture. Groovystuff is another pioneer is the recycled-wood push. The Dallas-based company’s pieces emphasize teak wood from reclaimed from old farm implements from Thailand. Designer Chris Bruning uses some pieces more specifically than others – plows for chairbacks, wagon-wheel spokes for legs – and also is beginning to accent pieces with teak bark wood, which doesn’t age like most bark does. The nature of the furniture makes each piece one of a kind, he says, but at the same time you could get eight pieces that all match. Recycled pieces are gaining popularity: Bina says sales have more than doubled each of the past two years; Groovystuff in November moved to a 42,000-square-foot facility, 30,000-square-feet larger than it’s home for the past six years. Because the resources are finite, the designers always are looking for the next material. Bina is looking into reclaiming other exotic South American woods, such as ipe, sucupira, jatoba and imbuia, while bark wood and tree roots are new-material ventures for Bruning. The specialty of the product is what makes it appealing to consumers, says Bruning. “People want to shop for a story,” he says. “Always have, always will.” |
