The Hamptons are better known for Puff Daddy's White Party, but some residents of the profligate hamlet are swaying decadence to the green side. Case in point: Project Greenhouse in East Hampton.
Acronym Designs is another noteworthy furniture company for the green generation. The company was started by Andrew Bennett Dickson to satisfy his passion for design, but disdain for waste. Acronym pieces simple in form, but created from reclaimed, recovered, or otherwise sustainably managed wood--such an approach to sourcing reduces the use of virgin trees and reduces waste sent to landfills. In addition Acronym only uses recycled and recyclable metals, concrete, non-toxic glues, and non-toxic/low VOC finishes. Added bonus: Acronym pieces are manufacture in the United States. That's local for many HuffPo readers.
