DALA - NEW OUTDOOR SEATING FROM DEDON

Check out Dala, new outdoor seating and tables by Stephen Burks for Dedon. 


The beautiful vibrant colored collection list price for a chair is $2,400 and side table $600.

The best things about this furniture is it is portable and casual, with strap handles that allow them to be dragged to shady spots under tree canopies or sunny patches near the pool.  DesignerEco team just love the colors and the mosaic effect of the ribbons.

The very shape of this collection is easygoing. “Everything is round and circular,” Mr. Burks said, “so there’s no particular orientation to how you should sit.” 

The pieces have hollow aluminum frames interlaced with colorful plastic ribbons made of 60 percent recycled food and drink packaging material and 40 percent polypropylene. Artisans in Dedon’s factory in the Philippines weave the material directly into the furniture’s gridded structure. “It’s like weaving through a fence,” Mr. Burks said.

ECO BAR STOOLS - RECYCLED TRACTOR SEATS

We chanced upon these amazing tractor seat stools in the Cleveland National Forest last weekend. Sitting innocently in a beautiful log cabin these stools were red in splendour and lined up like soldiers at the bar.




What an innovative idea for an old tractor. I 'm not sure how low the VOCs of that shiny paint are but it pales in comparison to extending the life on those chairs. It always boils down to the balance of style and sustainability....
