Pretty Little Green Things

Now that you have your eco-friendly desk and energy efficient table lamp, you’ll need a chic chair for your office!  Fortunately there are plenty of recycled and vintage options out there.

The first two desk chairs comes from Design Within Reach.  The first one was designed by Philippe Starck for Emeco and is made by hand, using 80% recycled aluminum.  I love what Starck had to say about it: “Working with Emeco has allowed me to use a recycled material and transform it into something that never needs to be discarded – a tireless and unbreakable chair to enjoy for a lifetime.  It is a chair you never own, you just use it for a while until it is the next person’s turn.”  DWR, if you’re reading this, I’ll “borrow” this chair for a while!

This second chair is a comfy option also from DWR.  It is both Greenguard and Cradle-to-Cradle certified, is made from 44% recycled content and is 93% recyclable.  (Don’t ask me how they figured out those exact percentages!)  And if you’re looking for a different aesthetic, DWR has tons of desk chair options with some sort of recycled percentage.  These were just my favorites.

These next three chairs aren’t technically desk chairs, but I think they would really chic options.  First up is the Girado Chair from Vivavi.  It’s made from responsibly-sourced hardwoods and upholstered with natural tanned leathers.  The swoop of the back is gorgeous!

Next up is a tub chair from Koskela.  They have such a commitment to the environment that I couldn’t even begin to cover their mission statement in one post, but you can read a bit about it here.  So not only are these chairs eco-friendly, they’re also super stylish.

Steren Series from Koskela

This third chair, is from Pure by Ami McKay which you may remember from an earlier post I wrote on her company.  It’s not technically a desk chair, but I know I would be super comfy working away on this chair.

I couldn’t resist this last two vintage pieces from Get Back, Inc. in Connecticut.  The industrial chic look is in right now and these two definitely fit the bill!
