Carved acacia wood koi, carved mango wood vases & sculpture made from found wood at Mo Fin
Since my design firm also provides sustainable design services I am constantly looking for new eco design elements. The Summer San Francisco International Gift Fair had a few vendors presenting some interesting selections. Here is what caught my eye this weekend:

Pillows made from stone-washed and bleached vintage dhurrie rugs at Bungalow

All photos, unless noted otherwise, were taken by yours truly with a spy cam, aka my old iPhone 3G very much in need of replacement after surviving a drowning incident. It just has to hang on until the release of the new 5G. So please forgive the poor quality of some of the images.
I would love to hear if anyone has come across any other sustainable treasures at other shows.
Cheers,
