These six high-quality products — from a shapely scent diffuser to a natural cork side table — are great options. Scroll down for this month’s sustainable finds!

Turn Around

Four Hands’ Blythe swivel chair is now available in Crypton, a sturdy fabric built for durability, but also known for its good looks. Free of PFAS, formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals, it’s an eco-conscious upholstery option that’s naturally moisture-, odour- and stain-resistant.

Put a Cork In It

Cork isn’t just for sealing bottles or pinning up notes! Gus* Modern’s Trophy table is sculptural and sophisticated — and made with 100% natural sustainable cork. Try flipping it for a fresh take on its silhouette

Pencil Pusher

No corner is too narrow for Dyson’s PencilVac, the world’s slimmest vacuum at just 38 millimetres in diameter. Its laser-like illumination spotlights hidden dust while the new dust separation system captures 99.9% of particles, releasing only clean air back into your home. Plus, the Hyperdymium motor is Dyson’s most energy-efficient motor yet!

Braided Beauty

Rich in texture and colour, this hand-braided rug is also innovative and hard-wearing. Crafted in India from recycled PET yarn made from post-consumer plastic waste, it’s perfect for high-traffic areas and easy to maintain: just vacuum regularly and spot-clean with a gentle detergent and water.

Smells Good

Diffuse fragrances over as many as 3,200 square feet with the shapely aluminum Estraneo scent diffuser. An optional Bluetooth control app with three intensity levels lets you release essential oils easily and efficiently.

Bright & Bubbly

The FL/Y pendant from Kartell has an iridescent finish inspired by a soap bubble. Designed by Ferruccio Laviani in 2002, the fixture has received an eco-friendly update: the rounded shade — slightly larger than a perfect half-sphere so the light concentrates downward — is now made from recycled polymer.
