greenplay sustainable children's furniture



LOOKING FOR INNOVATIVE CHILDREN'S FURNITURE?

How about furniture that is healthy for the little buggers? Check out Skyline Design's new line appropriately titled GREENPLAY. Get it? GREEN because it is sustainable and PLAY because it is children's furniture. I think it is a brilliant name.

The line encompasses sustainable products such as FSC wood, recycled, renewable and low impact materials. The coatings have low VOC or no VOC emissions. The products are shipped flat and packaged in recyclable packaging.

GREENPLAY will even re purpose the components at the end of its life and then donated to a charity.

If you are looking for sustainable children's furniture for any space be it residential or commercial, please consider GREENPLAY! Just the name says it all.

Earthy Greens Collection














As an architectural sales rep for Sina Pearson Textiles I am very impressed by the use of sustainable practices for many of Sina's fabrics.

One of the newest "green" textiles collections is the Earthy Greens Collection consisting of Big Dots and Eco-Pile.

Big Dots is Crypton Green and is third party certified by MBDC Cradle to Cradle silver. The fabric boasts post consumer recycled polyester fiber content. Being a Crypton the upholstery fabric may be used in many applications from healthcare to hospitality to home use. The use of large circles along with horizontal stripes gives this fabric a hip, modern flair.
Eco-Pile is a chunky chenille and the second fabric in the Earthy Greens Collection. This chenille is woven with biodegradable and recylced fibers. With high durability(100,000 double rubs) and its soft hand Eco-Pile is sure to fit into any design.
