Slow Design: Environment Furniture in LA
From Sarah
We like the look and feel of the recycled denim and old army tent canvas used in these pieces from the eco-conscious company Environment Furniture. Part design consortium, part modern crafts shop, Environment is a furniture maker with a forward-thinking commitment to using materials and processes with low environmental impact. Environment's retail showrooms are located in New York, Orange County, and a new flagship location in LA. The company uses only reclaimed, recycled, and sustainably harvested wood in its designs.
Above: Tripolina Chair is $795 in recycled army canvas or denim; also available in vegetable-dyed leather for $1,495.
Above: Block Cushion is $795 in recycled army canvas or denim.
Above: Mash Coffee Table is $795 in recycled army canvas or denim.

they look cool, but for those prices they better solve global warming too
wow
Nothing new here - the "coffee table" and chair are Army surplus.
What's astounding is that they're charging almost $800 for a folding cot (they call it a coffee table) you can pick up for less than $35 at the Army/Navy surplus store !! This feels like an eco-entrepreneur's version of the $900 hammer or $600 toilet seat that everyone was so outraged by several years ago when Lockheed-Martin was peddling them to the Pentagon.
These are nice looking but about an order of magnitude more pricey than they should be.
Anybody know the (generic) style of the chair so that I can search for one in my price range!?
OMG - I love this company. They have amazing furniture. I bought a bed from them a few months ago and it's incredibly beautiful. They have so much more than the reclaimed canvas stuff (it's cool -especially in person- but I truly love their wood furniture). Anyway, I got their EDGE Bed - and Love It.
Very bad experience with this company in Ireland.
Really bad service. Lots of excuses. Still wating after 9 months to sort out my frustation.
Pay in advance, deal done.
Not happy at all.
