Slow Home Movement – Being mindful about the impact your furniture has on the environment

Posted by Jenny, BiOH Polyols Marketing Assistant on June 16, 2010

Interior designer Gloria Battista Collins, who sent us the video below, is a key proponent of this new movement.

Slow Home means being mindful and knowledgeable about the furniture you purchase for your home and the impact on the environment of the materials that are used to make it. It means buying the best furniture you can afford so that it will last and not end up in a landfill. It means slowing down to appreciate and remember the memories that accrue to each well-loved piece you own.

Thank you, Gloria, for using furniture made by TLSbyDesign, an Indiana based manufacturer, who uses foam made with BiOH’s soy ingredient in each piece.

But, especially, thank you for sending us this beautifully produced and unsolicited video of your slow home living room to share with our readers. We wish you and your family many years of happy memories there.
