High green end. We were tipped off to the Q Collection by a friend who is designing soy candles for them. Q Collection is a luxurious, but environmentally sensitive, furniture, textile and accessory design outfit that does beautiful work, and is "to the trade" only right now.
The environmental scoop:
Our primary goal is the elimination of toxic chemicals, carcinogens and the leading components of poor indoor air quality.
The rest: You can look at their website (one of the best we've seen) and see an impeccable design sense behind it all, or you can look at the furniture, a small, carefully crafted collection of chairs, tables, sofas and storage units.
Prices are $$$ and though we don't have specifics yet, the vintage white lamp at left is $1140, pillows are $140-$250, and a crimson throw is $450. (Thanks, Mark!) MGR
a lovely site. notice all the fantastic black lampshades. billy baldwin loved black lampshades and only on several occassions when the interior didn't permit did he forego them.
I love that the eco world is FINALLY taking it's style cues from the likes of Billy Baldwin, Donghia and Todd Hase, instead of Laura Ingalls Wilder and The Prairie Home Companion. But, yikes, the prices are steep. I guess, to paraphrase Dolly Parton, "It takes a lot of time and money to look this natural". (Actually, her quote was more like "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap", but you get my drift.)
