March/April 2008 http://www.houseandhome.ie/> "We love the Tavura Chair - This chair would work perfectly in my home office beside my vintage desk" Smart, unusual, colonial-syle furniture that is big on eco credentials as it is on style can be found at Galway's Urban Haven, a recent and welcome arrival to the Irish Furniture scene. Here you can find furniture by Australian manufacturer Pacific Green, who craft their products from Senile Fijian coconut palms that would otherwise be felled and burned to allow the growth of new crops. Though the palms can no longer produce coconuts, now every part of them is used to create beautiful furniture, and leftovers are sold as cheap, and renewable energy source. |

April 2008 Meanwhile, on Ireland's west coast, Galway based Eileen Larkin of Urban Haven is doing her bit for the environment. She has introduced line of furniture made from Palmwood by Pacific Green. The collection is designed by Australian designer Bruce Dowse. After seeing first-hand the devastation logging causes the environment, Dowse introduced his "timber substitution theory" which meant saving the indigenous forest by using Palmwood instead. Palmwood is created from unwanted, eco sensitive 100-year-old coconut palms from the worlds remaining natural rainforests. "Using Palmwood instead of indigenous timbers causes no hurt. It helps preserve nature for our children", Dowse says. Each piece of furniture is handcrafted by indigenous artisans, and is all handmade - no glues or chemical are used. Stylewise, it rocks Fred and Wilma Flintstone chic: very 2008 |
