Eco-Modernism: sustainable fashion in design + decor.
[Lifestyle photo from Sci Fashion. Discarded Ethernet Cables Become Recycled Fashion in Colombia. Environmentalists worry about piles of non-recyclable e-waste, or discarded high-tech equipment. And somehow that's led to an explosion of Ethernet cable fashion, as you can see in this recent fashion show in Medellin, Colombia.]

For the love of modern furniture + wares, combined with a feel-good-green sensibility, comes the Eco-Modernism Lifestyle. As we become true nesters and build our sanctuary of good living, it’s a good idea to give back + take less. Thank goodness we can turn to the creative, risk-taking, and innovative designers in decor fashion to bring us cutting edge designs made with sustainable + organic materials. Not only do they seek out alternative sources such as, FSC certified woods and recycled fabrics, they find creative ways to upcycle* things like Ethernet cables, automotive seat-belts and 100% recycled plastic waste.
