The Nature of Style

Everyone I know is going green these days. For me, that means saving countless pop cans and bottles in paper grocery sacks, staring at the mess I’ve made, and eventually overcoming inertia enough to drive to a recycling center. For some, though, including designers at Isi Basics and Ancient Graffiti, it means style. Why have a normal kitchen when you can have a green one, filled with nature-inspired--and nature-preserving!--products? Sleek, self-standing bamboo tongs, cheese trays made of beautiful, sparkling slate--if you’re going green, why not bring your guests along? Chances are they’ll be green with envy.
