Bring the best of both worlds into your home with this unique table from Asian Art Imports. The glass top screams modern decor and the base has eco-chic written all over it. Paired with great seating, possibly a bench, and your dinner parties will get alot more exciting. Made from teakwood the base is 23″ square and stands 29″ tall.

Apple Table in Acacia gets it’s name from the general shape of the piece. This is a great three legged table that has a great naturalistic look that can be incorporated into many different settings.

Free Edge Table is the deffinition of nature taking it’s course when talking about furniture. The tables imperfections are what makes it beautiful and the free form edge makes a nice contrast to any traditional or modern chair.

Curving around like the crest of a plywood wave, the “C” table—designed by Albuquerque-based Scott White, with a little help from Mara Schweikert of Soma Interiors—hollows out beneath a flat top to make space for a stack of magazines. Scrap from each piece is then used to create additional accessories, resulting in a highly efficient, low-waste system.This is such a great design for modern living. We especially enjoy the magazine rack base. We are looking forward to what other possible finishes the team at white design come up with for this great piece.

GROOVYSTUFF COMPLETES FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL CERTIFICATION FROM THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE
Select Products Will Carry the FSC-Recycled Label
DALLAS, TX – With 10 successful years in home furnishings under its belt, sustainable style expert and home furnishings manufacturer Groovystuff has been awarded with the elite Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody certification from the Rainforest Alliance.

To achieve its certification, Groovystuff spent the past year and a half developing adequate tracking and handling procedures for the Thai manufacturing facility from which it purchases reclaimed teakwood products – mostly teak and rosewood wagon wheels and oxen yokes – which are then manufactured into the company’s unique line of upper-medium and high-end home furnishings for both indoors and outdoors. In addition, Groovystuff had to ensure that workers in the Thai facility had sufficient training on FSC chain of custody requirements for handling post-consumer reclaimed materials. Groovystuff developed procedures, work instructions and a training manual to cover the handling of post-consumer materials from the time of procurement through production and final sale.

Sheryl Saxton, Groovystuff’s Sustainability Officer, has overall responsibility for managing the chain of custody program, as well as overseeing Groovystuff’s overall corporate environmental commitment.
