crate and barrel thinks green

Love, love, love U.S. retailer Crate and Barrel, and I’m thrilled that they’re opening their first international store in Toronto at Yorkdale Shopping Centre this Thursday, Sept. 25.

I also love that the company highlights the environmentally friendly aspects of its products in its catalogues, so anyone who’s interested can easily spot them – something  that’s sure to be appreciated by people like me who are trying to make the best decisions possible.

For example, the Cayman sofa pictured here is constructed with certified sustainable hardwood; and the cushions are made from soy-based polyfoam. A good start to a greener world, I’d say!

The Seguro Media Console, one of my fave pieces in the store, has a facade covered with lengths of Brazilian peroba wood, which is reclaimed from the siding and floors of old buildings, then restored for use on these fabulous pieces, which are available in different widths. Shown is the 68″ width.

In addition to furniture, C&B carries oodles more for your home, including amazing tableware, brilliant small appliances, beautiful bedding and more. I could go on forever, but if you live in Toronto, check out the store, or, if not, go online at the address below to see the fabulousness that is Crate and Barrel.
