Down For It

Every time a plush Thalia sofa by Gus* Modern is built, 567 plastic bottles are diverted from oceans, waterways and landfills. The luxe seat and back cushions are filled with an eco-friendly synthetic down made from 100% recycled plastic.

Beauty Sleep

Au Lit Fine Linens’ Washed Cotton–Hemp collection offers the lived-in look of linen with a softer touch. Hemp is an eco-friendly choice: its cultivation uses minimal water, it thrives without pesticides, and the crop helps regenerate soil rather than depleting it.

Coffee Table

Founded by designer Krisette Santamaria (pictured), Krisette and Co. partners with local Toronto cafés to collect used coffee grounds and transforms them into surfaces for furniture. Pieces like the Bunn Pill coffee table are made by skilled artisans who clean, dry and process the grounds, then set them in custom moulds with resin to create the table’s coffee shell top.

From $1,250. Krisette and Co.

Block Party

The fabric for Caravane’s Florio throw pillows is block-printed in Jaipur, India, on organic recycled cotton in a muted palette with dainty traditional floral motifs. Designed to become softer over time, the pillows are both sustainable and beautiful.
