Nesting Au Natural
Date: January 26, 2010 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home

Home design is a passion of ours, but how we cringe when we consider that deforestation may have contributed to the wood furniture peddled by mass retailers. Lucky for us, and for you, nesting au natural does not mean having to throw your ethics or aesthetics out the window. We’ve already written about the vanguards behind environment, whose Los Angeles outpost is a regular ecofab stop when we’re in the City of Angels. In nearby Santa Monica, another green-friendly showroom is proving that design can, and should, have a conscience.
Viesso offers a bevy of options for shoppers who value locally-sourced materials, natural fibers, water based glues, and reclaimed wood. From concept to execution, the company focuses on simplifying and streamlining the design process, building pieces with as little waste as possible.
The bamboo Buden bed would be a sleek addition to anyone’s bedroom, while the Plyned dining table is a statement piece that we are currently coveting from afar. That said, we’re thankful that Viesso accommodates customers from all parts of the country, and will even make a donation to the Carbon Fund to offset the price of your plane ticket if you fly out to see the showroom.
