The Long (Board) And Short of Daniel Moyer's Sustainable Design

Recently, we caught up with designer Daniel Moyer after BKLYN DESIGNS„¢ 2008. We asked him about the growth of the show, his recent work, and his thoughts on sustainable design. Daniel, a Brooklyn designer and fabricator of hardwood furniture, puts the fun in sustainable, eco-friendly designs. Not only does he carefully consider the choice of wood (think Black Locust) in his designs, he also uses the excess wood to make his FunkinFunction longboards.

Next Big Thing: Salvadoran Designer Eugenio Menjívar's rECOlector Lamps

You'll never look at an egg carton the same way, at least not if designer Eugenio Menjívar has anything to say about it! I met the 28-year-old "eco-experimental" designer at last week's International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City. And of all the designers showing some truly amazing (and expensive) stuff, Eugenio's ingenious use of the simple egg carton, along with scrap metal salvaged in his home of San Salvador, was the best example I saw of true design melded with our new knowledge that we must conserve our resources now, before it's too late.
