With Earth Day coming up fast it’s a great time to consider the materials and processes utilized in the creation of products.

A great example: Designer Peter Danko and his Peter Danko Design studio create great looking, eco-modern, sustainable furniture.

We particularly like these chairs (above) made with recycled nylon seatbelts.  Nylon seatbelts make a surprisingly fine seating material.  It’s durable, possesses a little stretch, lasts a long, long time – and comes in a wide array of colors.

Danko’s use of ply-bending, or bending wood in layers, combined with his use of other recycled and sustainable materials has reduced the wood used in his chair’s construction approximately 10 fold when compared to traditional chair construction.
