We all are familiar with eco-fashion by now, but eco-decor is a new concept. The 60-year old wallpaper company Graham & Brown is making a wallpaper revolution by making the process eco-friendly. Thanks to their collaboration with students from Central St. Martins University in London, they created a line using sustainable materials and green production processes.
"Graham and Brown asked 22 students to submit a design brief for eco wallpaper. Five winners were chosen to be taken through to production, and the five winning designs were on display at this year’s 100% Design in London. The final wallpaper uses materials sourced from sustainable forests in Finland and keeps packaging to a minimum by removing the need for any tape or plastic. The company even recycles heat given off by furnaces, reduces drainage to prevent local flooding problems, and uses vegetable oil within tractor hydraulics so as not to contaminate forest floors.
I have to say these look great and have a special eco-chic to it.
