Why We Love It: This dresser caught our eye at the ICFF because of those clever handles. Such a seamless design and a brilliant way to integrate handles into the overall design, and from a green standpoint – no additional materials were involved in creating them, they we just chiseled out of the existing wood.

This is an incredibly eco-friendly design overall. Husband-wife design team Johannes Pauwen and Michaele Simmering, spent copious amounts of time trying to find just the right finish for their furniture, one that was eco-friendly, no heavy metals, low-VOC, HAPs-free (hazardous air pollutants) and non-toxic. Unable to find a satisfactory finish, they did it themselves and commissioned their own brand of natural wood oil finishes and paints to meet their high eco-standards. They also use non-toxic and water based glues.

The dresser is made of FSC-Certified domestic Maple. They employ a highly efficient and eco-friendly manufacturing process such as using CNC milling to minimize the waste generated from the manufacturing process and reusing whatever waste is generated either as raw materials or for making MDF.

But perhaps what is most ‘green’ about this modern dresser is that though it may begin as a baby’s dresser (the IoLine Changing Trunk is designed to fit securely on top) it was designed to be a long lasting piece that could fit in any room, not just a bedroom. A truly intelligent design to stand the test of time.
