Kit by: Amy Bohnenkamp
Sustainable Textiles Consultant, NYC

This kit features products from home decor companies you’ve probably heard of once or twice, but never had the chance to explore and learn about. I’m a big fan of these brands, in-particular, as they each have their own incredible and innovative eco-friendly product lines. These lines include, for example, products crafted with organic cotton and FSC certified wood. My kit includes products with these qualities, but is also angled towards reinvention and displays a few neat finds that truly exhibit the possibilities of upcycling in design. Simply, featured below are products that are made from materials that hint at a past life.

Discover a hand-curated kit featuring green home decor with eco-friendly, eco-furniture and a recycled wood table and reclaimed wood end table.
