B&B Italia - CHARLES LARGE
Sofas and armchair
Design Antonio Citterio (2003) A very comfortable seat, the sofa is a welcoming shelter to lie down in: these attributes are offered by the revisited Charles system by Antonio Citterio, which has long been a classic of interior design and has enjoyed consistent market success since its introduction in 1997. A new depth has reshaped its look to meet the growing demand of consumers who prefer a larger model.

Frame Chair

Description
Charlotte Sorensen's Frame is a handsom exercise in deception. The substantial chair made of massive birch, plywood and laminate folds and hangs, acting like a picture frame around the underside of the seat and splat. A textile hinge looks more like a horizon line than hardware. Available in red and white. (via Elements of Living)

Terratex
First to recommend
Description
Is your newest designer sofa made of corn? Interface, Inc., the maker of the ecocarpet Flor, has recently introduced an eco-friendly commercial fabric called Terratex, and many large textile and furniture manufacturers, including Knoll and Herman Miller, are using it. In fact, Knoll worked with Terratex to produce the fabric for the Essential Work Chair by Jeffrey Bernett, which made its debut at NeoCon 2005.
Terratex, originally made from recycled soda bottles and polyester plastic resin, has now introduced bio-based fibers into the mix. Bio-base is made from thermoplastic fibers (PLA), which, in turn, are made from corn, potatoes, soybeans and other starch-based agricultural waste products. Although, consumers can’t buy Terratex fabrics directly, they can purchase an assortment of products—everything from furniture and fabrics to wall panels and carpets—that contain it. In addition to Knoll and Herman Miller, Terratex works with HON, DesignTex, Jhane Barnes, Luna Textiles, Momentum, Carnegie and Allsteel. (Terratex isn’t always indicated on the label, so query a sales associate or consult the Terratex website [www.terratex.com]).
Interface uses alternative-energy systems in its factories and is trying to find new methods to save water, reduce emissions and waste, and eliminate harmful substances from products.
One new company initiative is a program called ReSKU, whereby manufacturers who use Terratex in furniture and textiles send back their old products to be recycled. It is good to know companies are teaming up to make products that are good for both the environment and our health. (via Elements of Living)
