Twig Bench by Russell + John Pinch @ Pinch Design.

The Twig Bench is currently being used in the reception area of a New York City office space. Notice how much richer the colour of the twigs appear when propped against a darker cement floor. Lighting and surrounding finishes make all the difference when dealing with natural materials.

The smart new addition to Pinch’s enviro-friendly Twig Collection, these versatile modern wall panels are made from FSC-certified Ash forest thinnings attached to a black plywood backboard.

Kirei:Mod Coffee Table by Iannone Design. 

Green Design Girl first featured Iannone Design back in January, when their eco.chic Graphic Armoire and Signature 2.0 Console caught my eye.  

Also bearing a clean-lined modern aesthetic, the striking Kirei:Mod Coffee Table is similarly constructed using the eco.smart kirei, which is made from reclaimed stalks of the renewable sorghum plant by bonding them together with a non-toxic adhesive. The interior structure of the coffee table is made from FSC-certified plywood, cut from normally discarded scraps. Its retro shaped legs are made from stainless steel and can be seen in a profile diagram here.

The Kirei:Mod is one of those pieces that inspires me because it proves that green design can be sleek, modern and drop dead gorgeous — and fortunately, we’re seeing more of it today.
