Bonsai Trees, A Living Art Kit

Green plants and flowers are a great way to decorate your office or home. Here is an elegantly understated bonsai tree kit that has clean lines and an industrial recycled steel material packaging, perfect for any modern day interior.

I personally do not have the green thumb, but this would make a great addition to the collection to those that do. The kit includes everything you need to know to grow and sculpt the tree to create a living work of art.

The Eco Business Card


If you think about it, the business cards that we handout on a daily basis is highly damaging to the environment. They are usually made out of paper and have chemicals on it from the printing, which is hard to break down.

The solution! up-cycling old cigarette packs, napkins, and paper cartons.

I just love this solution, it makes use of scrap papers and card that would otherwise be thrown into the trash or recycling.

Up-cycled And Beautiful

Ilanit Neutra creates simply beautiful bags. If you are an environmentally conscious consumer, than her products are right up your alley. Made out of inner tire tubes with individual graphic prints and markings, the ‘Neutra’ products are one of a kind and eco-friendly.

As tires are made from non-recyclable material and cause irreversible environmental damage, up-cycling like Ilanit does helps to promote a better future.

Tea & Coffee Towers + Gary Chang

Gary Chang, a Hong Kong born architect, creates well-designed spaces and products. He is best known for the redesign of his shoebox apartment, which used to house his large family as well.

Small space living is a very common issue within Hong Kong, however Gary Chang exploited the opportunity to develop a unique eco-friendly unit.

With the use of a futuristic sliding wall system, the apartment can now be transformed into 24 different rooms, ‘making the house move’ for him.

Tea & Coffee Towers:

Having lunch at a local Chinese restaurant is a great cultural experience, one that Gary Chang tried to infuse into the ‘Alessi Tea & Coffee Towers’
