Stylish Sustainable Storage. We have a weakness for the texture and warmth of strand board � we painted an entire series for our college painting class on giant sheets of the stuff. So of course we are in love with David Brunicardi's HoneyDrip Credeza...
The triple-coated strand board is paired with red powder-coated steel frame for a fantastic look. "The "marble-like" oriented strand board, chosen for these pieces, has a tighter structure than other brands and is made from quickly regenerating trees in a manufacturing process that utilizes nearly the entire log, increasing the efficiency of the raw material and reducing waste."
The HoneyDrip credenza measures 28�H x 20�D x 72�L and is available from Design Public for $1880.
There are also three tables made of strand board and red steel in the Honey Drip series:
• Xavier Lust's Cr�dence credenza
• Crate & Barrel's Spotlight Credenza
• Shelving & Storage

Sh|t wood for that price??!
I had the same reaction as Archie.
Horrors.

George likes his chicken spicy. George is getting very angry!
And this is sustainable because...? A lotof the "fast-growing" trees are either genetically engineered or invasive exotics (think eucalyptus) wreaking havoc with native forests.
Strand board will never be attractive to me. Sorry.
They look ugly and unfinished to me.
flashbacks to furniture in elementary school.
Yikes...not good.
Enjoy the toxic fumes
Though I'm getting splinters from looking at this, I think the concept is cool.
Nope.
Oriented strand board is typically made from different trees than regular wood planks, so aspen or poplar rather than something like oak. So you're using the whole tree, but you're not using wood waste from plank production, as a more typical MDF does. The tree is being logged or farmed for the specific use of making strand board. This wouldn't be more sustainable than MDF from any sort of tree that's farmed for lumber.
Like MDF, strand board has minor formaldehyde emissions that may bother some people or concern you on principle.
Oh -- I forgot -- being made from waste isn't equivalent to being sustainable unless the underlying material is farmed sustainably.
It's kind of like killing black rhinos for their horns and then finding a good use for the rest of the carcass. Less wasteful, yes. Sustainable, no.
gross.
Correction: postmodern furniture is not made of strandboard, it is made of WIN. You guys just don't get it.
Love the design; shame about the material. Make this with furniture grade ply, leave off the red paint, knock 25% off the price, and I'll get back to you.
This is yet another example of high priced junk furniture masquerading as "green". Oriented strandboard is made for house sheathing and floor underlayments, etc. it needs to stay there. "Marble-like"?, obviously the fabricator has not seen real marble in a very long time. You aren't doing any favors for forestry conservation purchasing something made of inherently unsuitable, cheap materials, which will quickly degrade from use. If you want to save some resources, use your $1900 to buy a well-constructed long-lasting piece from a reputable furniture manufacturer, or acquire an antique.
vagary,
What is WIN?

And when that happens, you'll no doubt bitch about it being "too ordinary" and at a price point that makes you wonder about the quality...
