InModern: Surfin Collection
I love the clean lines and bold colours of the Surfin collection by InModern. In fact, all of their products have a contemporary aesthetic and are truly eco.friendly, making them a perfect fit for Green Design Girl.
The folks at InModern use only North American sourced FSC-certified woods to create their products and take their eco status even further by ensuring that they are completely formaldehyde-free, using non-toxic water-based stains. They also explain that their pieces have a “UV cured finish to minimize greenhouse gases.”
InModern’s furniture is designed for fast and easy assembly and disassembly, touting a “no tools or hardware required” patented method. Furthermore, their products have the eco bonus of being able to ship flat, which conserves packaging and reduces waste — an area that is often overlooked in product design.
The above Surfin Desk/Table is multi-functional and works perfectly as a desk, but it can also easily accommodate two people for an intimate dinner arrangement. InModern’s pieces go on to include other furniture collections for adults, teens and children — all maintaining the same playful, eye-catching style. Stay tuned for more of their eco.mod designs here on GDG.
The Surfin Coffee Table in the Slate water-based finish. I appreciate the contrast made by exposing the natural wood edges in all of their pieces. The dark Slate finish is stylish, but the wood contrast and retro feel keep the look light and fun.
The Surfin End Table in Leaf.
The Surfin Stool in Slate.
The Surfin Magazine Rack in Fire [I like the cool names they’ve given their finishes]. Apart from the Surfin Desk/Table, this is my fave piece from the collection. I instantly thought of butterflies when I saw it.
