For this issue of "<span style="font-style: italic;">Home Couture</span>," expect whimsy and flirtatious interiors mixed with a soft side of bohemian white and accessorized with azure blue.</div>

European Eclectic is an attitude ~ not a location. It's a true passion for Home Couture and fabulous interiors with a gift of mix-n-match. For the true-blooded urban dweller, choose modern-tufting in white leather with touches of polished nickel and add avant-garde handcrafted twig furniture in pure white for the perfect Modern-Vintage Lifestyle.<br />

So, if you love culture + fashion + design, come embrace a little bit of the sweet "Vanity Fair Vintage" lifestyle.<br />

The Pure Modern Lifestyle begins with the long drive home and ends with the serenity of a hillside oasis. Open space + pure white define the laid-back lifestyle of "Less is the New More." There is something to be said for the absence of rich color or bold prints and in today's overly connected Blackberry world, who isn't on the search for the simple pure beauty of ~ white. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a few moments of pure bliss + pure modern home interiors.<br />

The Euro Modern Lifestyle is not about where you live, it's about how you live. Modern seating doesn't have to be straight-lined-boring-sleek. Don't be afraid to go bold with color, option for square-quilted leather, choose urban industrial chrome bases, or select large scale, dual-functionality pieces. {note: make sure to click on image for large jpeg: they are euro modern fabulous}.<br />

From the French based, multi-national design house ~<span style="font-style: italic;"> ligne roset</span>, comes a design-forward group of<span id="ctl00_ctl00_Content_Content_uxContentArea_lblContent"> innovative collaborators, who offer small-to-large scale modern seating with a well </span>defined design aesthetic.<br />

What sets them apart from other modern upholstery manufacturers and why this Euro Modern Design Co. is one of my favorites ~ Inventiveness. One key to their cutting edge designs: if a new product demands new materials or production methods, the company will do what it takes to acquire the right innovations and bring to market the best in ultra modern cool frames.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Living in London ~ home decor fashion takes on the grunge goodness of chic design and avant-garde textiles. Let your inner bohemian free to re-cover existing frames with artist canvas and express an eclectic nature of decor by painting your own designs, or purchase custom hand-painted chairs & settees. Either way, you bring new life to any city dweller's loft or London pad.<br />
<br />
Don't be afraid ~ spice things up with fabulous color splashes of bold M&M greens to silk-glam-pinks, or express the darker side of bohemian life, with Gothic birds and black-&-white graffiti designs. {lifestyle photo: via coco+kelly at flickr}.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">When it comes to sustainability: choice + innovation + education are key. Recently, <a href="http://www.experiencebioh.com/">BiOH:</a> A Cargill Innovation, put together an amazing event to celebrate sustainability and help educate consumers in making a greener choice with "Experience Soy Style: Be in the KnOH!”</span> <span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><br />
</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" ><br />
<a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/">Room & Board:</a> a modern furnishings retailer in Edina, Minnesota, hosted the BiOH event which </span>takes consumers on a journey of sustainable education and demonstrates how soybeans can actually reduce the consumption of petroleum and how even the smallest sustainable choice can add up to a larger environmental impact.<br />

Products that incorporate BiOH polyols offer a responsible choice for consumers and businesses that are increasingly interested in sustainability."<br />
</blockquote>Through years of BiOH polyols research, Cargill has developed a more environmentally friendly ingredient (polyols) extracted from pure soybeans, which replaces a portion of the standard petroleum-based materials used in foam by today's furniture manufacturers. Sustainability isn't just about living a green lifestyle, it's really about choice and now when you choose to purchase a product made with BiOH polyols, you have that choice.<br />

She discusses the technology and applications of using BiOH polyols to replace portions of the standard petroleum based foam products within numerous industries such as: furniture, mattresses and automobile seats. Most importantly, Cargill's soy is the most broadly used by the top foam manufacturers, including 8 of the top 10.

Soft washes of weathered wood, mixed with white lacquer hand-made accents, create a dichotomy of modern glam + coastline rustic. <span style="font-size:100%;">{</span><span style="font-size:100%;">photo above: with bold modern lines, the Brussels Dining Table is shown in Cerused White oak.}</span><br />

For the laid back attitude of a west coast dweller, choose an oak wash finish for that subtle hint of casual rustic. For the east coast city dweller, don't be afraid to glam it up with modern white lacquer. {photo *1: Brussels Dining Table. photo *2: Essex Dining Table.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Today, consumers need to understand the "Shades of Green" in terms of organic goods and sustainability in order to make informed choices before purchasing home interior goods and bedding. So with the Eco-movement craze, I asked Julia Rosien, the Communications Director for <a href="http://www.naturaworld.com/">Natura</a>, "What does it really mean to be Green?"<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"Natura has been taking eco-responsibility for 15 years. We’re a family-owned business focused on sleep systems with environmental integrity. Not only do we promote green, natural and organic philosophies, we live them. While manufacturing seems to have made a mass exodus overseas, Natura stands firm in the belief that you can’t beat the quality of North American made goods."</blockquote>Natura’s Organic Collection:<br />
"Is processed in accordance with the highest standards, working in harmony with nature - not against it. Made from high quality resources that are both renewable and recyclable, our organic line is produced with careful consideration to animal welfare and environmental sustainability. For every 4 lbs. of organically grown wool used by Natura, one acre of land is saved from pesticides and toxins".<br />

</div><br />
Be Organic. Be Natural. Be Smart.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">While I'm not really sure what Natura Smart Wool is ~ I only know it does crazy-good things for you while you sleep. The Beauty and Technology of Natura Wool: balances body temperature for personalized comfort, steadies the heart rate which leads to a reduction in tossing & turning, eliminates moisture build up by wicking away excess humidity, and it's Hypoallergenic: <span style="font-style: italic;">naturally </span>deters allergens & bacterial growth. One more good thing about wool, it's antimicrobial, which means dust mites and bed bugs are naturally repelled and cannot survive.<br />
</div></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">My Bed: Pure + Natural with the All Natural Comforter with Natura Wool and the fabulous & fluffy Wool Mattress Pad with a 100% pure wool surface. It's like I sleep in this wool envelope of pure organic goodness and yes, I toss less, sleep more soundly, and I just feel better.<br />

<br />

We should forever admire their passion to never think "inside" that little box.<em></em> Please come join the movement and support the brave artisans, who while applying their craft, add to our world a touch of cultural innovation and gift to us their avant-garde furniture + wares. Enjoy...<br />

The inspiration for this was not only literal, in splitting the turned leg, but also metaphorical by splitting the past open to form a new idea." ~ Reeves Design.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Another great find from Hudson Furniture is this large scale, solid walnut dining table. By appreciating the natural grains and rugged lines of the wood slabs and while maintaining the integrity of traditional joinery techniques, this Claro Table is a hand-made, one of a kind, piece of Organic Art.<br />
<br />
Since Hudson caters to the design community, you may have a custom table built up to 20-feet in length, which also comes with a custom designed metal base. What more could you want from a high-end furniture company?<br />
<br />
And...one more reason to love this NYC company, "None of the woods we use are harvested from old growth forests. With respect to nature, all wood slabs are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or storm damaged trees." For more Urban Industrial Art, check out www.hudsonfurnitureinc.com.</div><br />

Although, everyone wants to get into the green movement, the green road is not as easy as it looks. True innovation + change comes with time and commitment and BiOH is leading the way in changing how manufacturers make upholstered furniture. Consumers need to understand the "shades of green" in terms of sustainability and need to make informed choices in how to purchase home interior goods. <a href="http://www.tkpartnership.com/">Leslie Carothers</a>, social media strategist of BiOH states: <div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote>"BiOH soy based foams are a more <span style="font-style: italic;">responsible choice</span> for the consumer on the continuum of choice but not <span style="font-style: italic;">the greenest choice</span>, as foam made with BiOH soy polyols is a combination of soy and petrol. At this time, only 20% max of any cushion or mattress can contain soy because the technology does not exist to make a cushion that meets the manufacturer’s specifications for comfort". </blockquote></div>The Good News: the pricing of upholstery made with BiOH soy cushions will not cost the consumer any more than making a choice to buy an all foam sofa and this makes the green-choice a whole lot easier. All you have to do is ask your retail sales consultant, "Which upholstery manufacturers do you carry use BiOH?<span style="font-style: italic;"> It feels good to be green.</span><span class="subhead"><br /><br />The Technology of it: What are BiOH® Polyols?</span><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"We guess that you’re probably asking that question since “</span>polyol<span style="font-style: italic;">” is not a word that most people use everyday, and we know that the majority of our family and friends still don’t completely understand what we do!" ~ the BiOH family.</span><br /></blockquote><strong style="font-weight: normal;">BiOH polyols are an ingredient for flexible foam in products you use daily: </strong>upholstered furniture, mattresses, mattress toppers, pillows, carpet cushion, and automotive seats. Traditional foam and carpet cushion ingredients are made from petroleum-based chemicals. BiOH polyols are made from a renewable resource ~ soybean oil. (See the <a href="http://www.experiencebioh.com/soy-love/">Soy Love</a> section.) Today BiOH polyols cannot replace all of the petroleum chemicals in these products, but they are leading the industry.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">To learn more about BiOH and how to support other sustainable manufacturers in home decor, look to The BiOH Experience: ways to make a positive impact in your world at <a href="http://www.experiencebioh.com/">www.experienceBiOH.com</a>.<br /></div><br /></div>Urban LifeStyle Decorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08716677913611518524noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8177135354344505111.post-31821635710928373992009-02-18T22:36:00.069-06:002010-04-04T17:48:55.992-05:00Rethink.

Organic living isn't just about purchasing new goods from sustainable manufacturers, it's about being creative and recycling and reusing existing materials when possible to create a pure beauty in home interiors. It's okay, reclaim your grandmother's iron bed for your guest room and don't feel a day of guilt about it. It's all about balance. {lifestyle photo by scott morton}.<br />

Uhuru: <span style="font-style: italic;">the </span><span style="font-style: italic;">über c</span><span style="font-style: italic;">ool of urban organic</span>. Founded in 2004 by Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath, this is one of the most unique small design + build furniture companies on the planet. These guys know their wood slabs and are truly devoted to sustainability issues.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"For us sustainability is about choosing materials with the least amount of environmental impact, whether it is what they are made of, how they are produced or where they come from, and using them in a way where little to no waste is created."</span><br />
</blockquote>The Bilge Lounge Chair is crafted by using reclaimed bourbon barrel staves from Kentucky and used truck springs. This chair is ~ true green.<br />
<br />
Another organic find from Uhuru's Küpe line, is the Stave Bench {above}, which is constructed from reclaimed bourbon barrel staves and black steel. By utilizing functional design, while retaining the individual characteristics and natural colors of the aged wood from the original barrels, the team at Uhuru easily create a new vernacular in craftsmanship.

One more of my favorite, NY build + design furniture companies, is John Houshmand: the grand-daddy of all things Urban Organic. His philosophy for this industry is refreshing, not to mention, his profound thoughts on trees:<blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">"Trees are the guardians of everything sacrosanct. They hold secrets of the past and relinquish everything necessary to sustain the future. We allow trees to do the talking. We simply listen."</span></blockquote>This 96" long organic console pictured above by John Houshmand is a great anchor piece for any loft. Made from old growth heart pine beams and a steel frame, this piece signifies the urban industrial ideal. Each piece is individually handcrafted ~ they love crumbling bark & wormholes.<br />

Go crazy and search for the avant-garde & whimsical. One of my all time favorites for crazy: Moooi, where designers create: <div style="text-align: justify;"><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">"Furniture to fall in love with at first sight or hate forever ~ moooi".</blockquote>Love it or hate it, you gotta admit, it's pretty crazy-fab. {the lighting goods: light-shade-shade, a one-way mirror chandelier from moooi. *2: antique antler chandelier from <a href="http://www.jaysonhomeandgarden.com/home.php">jayson home & garden.</a> *3: klemm cast resin chandelier by oly. *4: horse lamp by moooi, also available in silver. *5: boot lamp by mochino lamp collection}.<br />

This spirit has undoubtedly permeated my design."</blockquote>With bold scale, this over-sized headboard comes with the collection's signature square pattern design.
