I just fell for the classic but updated look of this Azure sofa from Crate and Barrel. Tufting, curves — it’s got it all!
It’s shown above in Whitney Bran linen/rayon blend with self-welt detail but it’s also available in other colour options (a custom colour is shown below).
And, of course, it’s eco-friendly.
• the seat and back cushions are filled with soy-based polyfoam
• the cushions are wrapped in fibre made from clear and white plastic bottles
• the frame is made from hardwood that’s FSC or SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified
With these lines, it would look amazing in just about any room, modern or fresh traditional, and with hundreds of fabric options, you could really give it your own personality twist!
Available at: Crate and Barrel stores; for locations and to order online, visit www.crateandbarrel.ca
Price: from $2,199

I love outdoor furniture that could work just as well indoors, and this super-luxe number fits the bill perfectly. Let’s play “spot the on-trend elements” with Art Shoppe’s stunning Balcony Sofa:
* Glossy finish (Love the lacquer look!)
* Fretwork frame (So fresh and summery!)
* Versatility (Imagine this in a front entryway as a place to perch when you’re taking off your shoes; OR pulled up to an extended dining table as an alternative seating arrangement; OR on the balcony…)
* Full weather resistance (It’s going to take a licking and keep on ticking!)Â
Doesn’t it make you want to host a garden party? I can definitely see myself curled up on this beauty with a pile of cucumber sandwiches…

UpCountry releases the Bond Sofa, the first piece in their Green Upholstery Initiative, fast on the heels of the latest Bond pic, Quantum of Solace.
Like Daniel Craig, this sofa is sleek and good-looking, but it’s also Canadian-made and eco-friendly.
• The upholstery fabric is a 100% cotton/bamboo blend available in 5 nature-inspired colours — Slate (shown), Flax, Lynx, Pine and Coffee — created with environmentally low-impact dyes certified by the Organic Materials Institute.
• The primary upholstery foam is soy-based.
• The sofa frame is constructed from a combination of Canadian oak, maple and cherry and engineered wood panels. The engineered panels are made from recycled fibres and zero VOC, zero formaldehyde glue.
• All glues, stains and finishes are non-toxic, low VOC and water-based where possible.
• The sofa is made the Greater Toronto Area, so if you live here, buying it means a low carbon footprint, since it’s not being shipped long distances.
The next product to be introduced in the initiative will be a daybed sofa in late January ’09. As well, the soy foam will begin to be used other products and, if the bamboo fabric proves popular, Todd Childerhose, president of UpCountry, says it will be introduced into other ranges, too.

Price: $1,795

Love, love, love U.S. retailer Crate and Barrel, and I’m thrilled that they’re opening their first international store in Toronto at Yorkdale Shopping Centre this Thursday, Sept. 25.
I also love that the company highlights the environmentally friendly aspects of its products in its catalogues, so anyone who’s interested can easily spot them — something that’s sure to be appreciated by people like me who are trying to make the best decisions possible.
For example, the Cayman sofa pictured here is constructed with certified sustainable hardwood; and the cushions are made from soy-based polyfoam. A good start to a greener world, I’d say!
