Nature’s First Green is Gold
Date: March 15, 2010 | Category: Home Furnishings, The Home
Literally only steps away from our Dogpatch office in SF, you’ll find the studio of furniture designer Dylan Gold, a California native whose work seamlessly integrates environmental responsibility, innovative design, and incredible craftsmanship.
We love the modern style of Gold’s pieces, each with an edgy, yet purposeful touch - like cornered, a coffee table that utilizes one leg as a magazine holder, or twisted, a shelving unit with one cube slightly tilted for a subtle focal point. Using FSC certified veneers, solid wood and MDF made from post-consumer recycled content, as well as low-VOC adhesives and finishes, it’s clear that “green” is in Gold’s blood (he attributes much of this to his parent’s conserving, composting and reusing during his childhood). Both wasted #1, wasted #2, and chop chop (a series of cheese boards/ serving trays/ chopping blocks) are made entirely from discarded shop scraps and offcuts (of which most of the material was sustainable to begin with!).
Everyday objects turned into beautifully functional works of art, we’re going to have to argue with Frost on this one - Gold is here to stay.
