eco-modern cardboard design

The seating entitled “FlexibleLove” distributed by Cardboardesign was a true showstopper at the Go Green Expo in NY last weekend despite that it has been around for a while. It has an accordion-like mechanism that quickly allows you to accommodate from one to as many as sixteen people. I had always admired Cardboardesign’s liquid cardboard vase designs outside their store in Soho during the summer and the flexible love-seat seems a perfect match. Both designs are called liquid cardboard design since one shape can easily morph into another one. What I love about the vases is that each item can easily change from a flower vase to a bowl, platter or candleholder. This multi-functionality makes them perfect for small apartments plus it reduces excessive waste.  

All liquid cardboard designs are made out of a unique honeycomb cell structure that is manufactured with high percentages of secondary fiber including old corrugated boards, kraft paper, old newspaper and even straw. The glues contain no harsh chemicals or animal products and the end result is fully recyclable. Make sure to also check out Cardboardesign’s cat scratch post, which is part of this month’s generation green selection at target.

It's farmers market season with an abundance of fresh local fruits and vegetables. Most of the vendors offer the typical plastic produce bag. The easy way to eliminate the need for these plastic bags is to take a set of reusable mesh produce bags from www.beneterre.com The company offers a set of three washable, reusable mesh bags in fun colors. The snazzy drawstring cords are sewn in so they don't come loose or get lost in the bag. Beneterre also offers better designed shopping bags as well. The Splash stands up and is less likely to tip over due to the large round base. The Cocoon and Clam both have their own resealable carrying case. All products are produced in America.

Louise - I love that your produce bags are locally manufactured and made out of mesh. They are perfect for farmers markets and I love the colors. Just yesterday I was trying to find a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) membership in Manhattan, but most of them are sold out. Luckily there's a farmers market on the weekends close to my home.
