GREENTEA RECLAIMED WOOD FURNITURE

We love to see designers using reclaimed wood in their products - it’s more beautiful, interesting, and of course more environmentally-friendly than virgin wood. A great example is GreenTea Designs, an online furniture store that sells Asian-inspired contemporary furniture made from recycled and reclaimed wood.

Like a good matcha, GreenTea’s success is all in the blending: blending east with west, old with new, and style with sustainability. According to the founder, Greentea was born of the desire to blend Asian traditional styles with contemporary Western practicalities. But the company doesn’t only sell new furniture - they also deal in traditional Asian antiques from Japan, Korea and China, which can all be custom tailored to suit any buyer’s taste by GreenTea’s in house carpenter.

What beautiful pieces! Even though I am into retro furniture, I would consider this for our guest room! I am still looking around, and just bought some great bar stools from http://www.americanchairs.com They have great stuff for the retro decorator!

I love the color of this wood! It reminds me of a lot of the reclaimed wood pieces we import from Indonesia. Most of our Asian furniture http://www.tansu.net pieces have a contemporary European design fused with an Asian flair. And in the land of Asian furniture goes, it does’nt come much sturdier than Teak!
