Sustainable Outdoor Furniture

One thing that you recognise when you are researching the best green blogs in Australia, is that being "Green" or "Eco-friendly" is not a one card trick. There is more than just putting E91% in your petrol tank. It is more than paying for the carbon offset when you purchase your plane tickets. Sustainable living involves every aspect of your life.

So here is one area where living green is an absolute pleasure...

Sustainable outdoor furniture has come on in leaps and bounds in the last decade. Recycled teak is being used to manufacture all kinds of furniture. Not only does it look amazing, but the pest and weather resistant teak is perfect for outdoor furniture.

One of the most stylish sustainable outdoor furniture retailers is Mamagreen.

Mamagreen have been around for a few years, and if you are involved in the interior design community, then there is a fair chance that you have heard of them. They have a wide range of very modern design furniture and homewares. A lot of their furniture is constructed from timber that is reclaimed from old building and railways. The weathered timber exudes a real earthy personality, and provides great warmth to any setting. The modern designs that Mamagreen have on offer provide great functionality.

So forget about looking at those classic eighties vinyl lounges, and instead check out some sustainable outdoor furniture.
