Can You Marry a Sofa?

OMG! I saw this Vitra sofa in a magazine several years ago and then I lost the picture. Then it just showed up in Elle Decor this month. Reunited at last! The detail on the buttons is so crazy cool. I love pretty much everything about this piece especially the tonal mix and the geometry. This is definitely on my top ten list! -dann

Talk About "Clean" Lines

I don't know what my deal is. This is "green" post #2 today. Maybe I'm feeling guilty for using oil-based paint for an end table I'm working on. Who knows? Regardless, for those of you looking for a nice sofa with clean lines, you may want to consider this beauty from EKLA HOME. When most people think organic and locally-sourced, furniture probably isn't the first thing that comes to mind. EKLA HOME specializes in bringing you furniture held to a very "green" standard. All fabric is organic and non-toxic; reclaimed wood is used when possible; they use natural rubber, finishes with the lowest VOC possible, water-based glue, as well as recycled springs and stables. The list really does go on. You can read more about EKLA's sustainable practices on their website. -ian
