izzytable.jpgIzzy, an eco-friendly furniture company based in Michigan, has been designing with environmental issues in mind for the last 15 years.  They offer unique and comfortable desgins.  With each piece they have a GreenGuard Certificate which means the piece contributes to healthy indoor air quality.  Their products can earn LEED credit as well. One of the companies subsidiaries, HAG, based in Europe buys all its electricity from windfarms and they use car bumpers, salad containers and ketchup bottles for their seating. 

Next time you are in the market for new office furniture think about an eco-friendly option first!
