Park it on green
The eco-chic trend in home furnishings moves forward this spring with European design luminary Jean-Marie Massaud’s new collection for Environment Furniture, the California company known for using reclaimed woods and repurposed fabrics. The pieces conceived by Massaud will have an artful, contemporary flair. “Sustainability is an investment in quality, competence and timelessness,” the designer said in a statement about his new collection, which will be officially unveiled in April at the International Furniture Fair of Milan. Environment Furniture is represented in the Denver-area by Ashley Campbell Inc. (262 Fillmore St., 303-996-6195, ) and D’Amore Interiors (9500 W. 49th Ave., Wheat Ridge, 303-422-8704, ).
