Environ Biocomposites Dakota Burl Biofiber

First to recommend

Description

A fiberboard made from squished sunflower seeds (the gluten holds the product together so there’s no glue – and no offgassing) this is a very cool material that would make a stunning wall panel – and it’s earth-friendly.

3form Ithemba Material

First to recommend

Description

This is an ecoresin panel with woven beads embedded in it – and the beading is done by women in Africa whose lives are impacted by HIV and AIDS so it’s not only a gorgeous product, it’s socially responsible. A great company with a very cool product.

IKEA Expedit Bookcase

27 people recommended this item

Description

I have used these so many times! They look way more expensive than you'd think in person, and you can add casters (wheels) to the bottom to make them really practical and moveable. Plus that keeps you from damaging the floors.

I only suggest the brown/black, because the white ones look much cheaper and get beat up really fast. When you get this, please put it together with wood glue (in every single hole and on every joining surface!) and your bookcase will last twice as long.

Check out my recommendation on the boxes and drawers and magazine files that work with this too!

Because I used to use disposable cameras and this is so much better – always ready to catch the magic moments – and catch the million details I need to document for my job.

From the iPod, the iBook and the Powerbook to their desktop computers this is a company that knows great design means dead easy to use as well as good looks. Very key. I’d be dead in the water without their products.

Muji Travel Alarm Clock

6 people recommended this item

Description

sure, you're on vacation but you still need a travel clock - do you really trust hotel alarm clocks (I don't). Besides, vacation or not, there are a few things worth getting up early for (ocean fishing, river rafting, connecting flight...)
