Style and sustainability are key characteristics of any product. With that in mind, many of today’s innovative designers strive to strike a balance between stylish design and sustainable manufacturing. Designer Christian Brown is a case in point. His design studio creates their modern, earth-friendly furniture from wood and materials that are either salvaged, regionally-harvested, FSC-certified, or created with new, environmentally-friendly composites.

The Sonoma Club Chair (pictured above + below) is made from FSC-certified maple and renewable cork. I love the lines and silhouette of this sustainably made chair.
