Eco-furniture is often very simple and above all quickly accomplishable solution. So, the Italians from the Studio Nucleo Company invented a grass armchair – it is contemporarily a personal comfort, unusual furniture and a landscape solution.

Take one more masterpiece of an eco-art – biodegradable furniture of fir needles. A designer from Latvia Tamara Orjola actively develops her ecological needle-leaved project Forest Wool sustaining life of fir needles which are left after woodworking industry. In its frameworks Tamara organized a fir-needle conversion: dries the needles, grinds up, steams off, cards, plaits and presses them. The advantage of the furniture made of such panels is that there’s no necessity to mount it with screws and hammers. They are connected with the help of notches. And what is more, the whole production has a smell of the forest.
