I just got this email from Set Decorators of America... "Everything must go!"  For those folks in LA, this could be a Friday Find like no other!  Movie props, how fun!  I bet some of this stuff is new or slightly used and could make for a great re-use.  Because we all know re-use is better than refuse!

 

It may seem jarring to see the term “eco-friendly” in the same sentence as “Mad Men,” a television show that depicts the period of shameless wastefulness of the early 1960s. Gas guzzling cars, polyester and littering have all been featured on this show, but don’t worry, I’m not as good as Don Draper and am not about to convince you that this era was anything but decadent and destructive. What I do want to discuss is the amazing style featured on the show and how you can easily bring that into your home in a green and eco-friendly manner.

     Brave Space is a company made up of three Brooklyn based designers.  The goal of the brand is to create modular minimalistic furniture that is eco-conscious.  The pieces are made from either scrap wood, 100% recycled MDF, or bamboo.  The finished surfaces are treated with organic herbal oil, and non toxic water based paints.  By creating modular pieces, the furniture gains longevity as it can constantly be rearranged and grouped to fit your changing needs.

     The Tetrad is a great example of modern furniture that can be used as storage, and a room divider.  The piece shown below comes flat packed for smaller shipping.  It is also available in Walnut and Bamboo.
