Pretty Little Green Things

Being an environmentally conscious designer, I have an inclination towards natural materials.  Wood and stone have an inherent beauty than man-made materials just can’t replicate.  So I get pretty excited when I see furniture makers crafting pieces that showcase the best of a natural material.  Case in point: my new design crush Rotsen Furniture.  They make high quality furnishings hand-crafted out of reclaimed or responsibly sourced wood that comes mostly from Brazil or South America.  What I especially love is that their furniture is not just well made – each of piece of wood has a story to tell and makes an amazing design statement.

I’ve put together a few of my favorite pieces, but there are plenty more online.  And if by chance you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, Rotsen Furniture has custom capabilities so you can get that perfect piece for your home.  Enjoy!

I’ve been looking for the perfect statement coffee table for my living room.  If only this Floating Tamburil Slab table wasn’t out of my budget, it would be just the right thing.  I love the mix of raw wood  and modern lucite base.  Like I said, perfect.

I could be consoled by this Canoa Coffee Table instead.  I can just imagine this tree sitting in the forest a hundred years ago just waiting to be turned into the most amazing piece of furniture.

I’m loving the unique mix of warm wood and warm metal together on this Bola Side Table.  I’ve seen a lot of chrome and raw wood tables but not too many with polished bronze.

How cool is this Reclaimed wood floating desk?  I’m not sure if I would be able to get any work done on it though – I’d probably spend all my time staring at the gorgeous wood top.

I love the slightly industrial look of this Macico bench.  It’s almost more of a sculpture than a piece of furniture.

I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect mirror for over my fireplace mantle.  While this Ferpas wood & aluminum wall sculpture obviously isn’t a mirror, I could be convinced to switch to this statement piece instead!

How cute are these Bola stools?  I’m loving the shape and the carved indents on the sides.  And they’re the perfect quick party seat when you don’t want to stand or flop down on the couch.

I have a ton more favorites, but I’m going to stop here lest I overwhelm you with pictures (not possible I’m sure!).  Make sure to check out their whole range online.
