Walls for Wildlife 

If these walls could speak, they would tell a story of passionate design and conservation. Based out of the U.K., Newton Paisley creates wallpapers that are hand-drawn by conservation biologist Susan Paisley and made with recycled materials. They approach production with minimal waste or energy required and only use water-based, environmentally friendly ink, free from harmful chemicals. This piece of art also makes a statement for protecting land; for every meter of fabric sold, 100 meters of wild habitat is preserved through their collaboration with World Land Trust.

Starting at $331 per roll at www.newtonpaisley.com.

 

Reclaimed Purpose

re.dwell is a custom furniture business operating out of Grand Rapids, MI with a focus on responsibly sourced wood. Over 75% of the materials used in their furniture come from reclaimed and recycled lumber, finding potential and creativity in what would otherwise end up in a landfill. The company is committed to rejecting illegal or irresponsible sources that cause harm to our forest resources, all the while creating thoughtful and sustainable pieces for their customers.
