NUDO design (Domenico Russo and Kaja Ałaszkiewicz) is an Italian - Polish mix of strong minimalistic aesthetics, craftsmanship tradition and PR/architectural background. Relative to the human body or its parts, not covered by garments, naked. Also, referred to things that are without any usual, possible ornaments and decorative objects. Simplicity is the point!
SOPHIE HOME
We love the 100% cotton knit cushions, throws and nursery accessories from Sophie Home, look at them!
KUKUU
KUKUU furniture by architect Aija Priede-Sietina and designer Daneks Sietins was born together with their second daughter. Born because, while they were cradling their first child, they grew tired of looking for functionally designed, ecological, sustainable and matching furniture that is safe for children, and which, rather than suppressing it, actually nurtures a child’s personality. Love it!
KOLEKTO
Look at Kolekto, wooden toys handmade in Copenaghen of sustainable materials. They are created in the field between sculpture, art and imaginary play - for children and adults.
NATURBRUSH
We discover Naturbrush, the first Spanish brand of biodegradable toothbrushes. We really love them because they represent a small change in our daily lives that can configure great long-term achievements. Its manufacture in bamboo not only helps not invade or deforest free natural spaces, but also its cultivation contributes to increasing the global forest mass thanks to rapid and vigorous growth. But a biodegradable Naturbrush brush is not only a succession of small gestures that can make great progress in caring for our environment, it also takes care of our health because Bamboo is a natural antibacterial, repels microbes and external agents that accumulate in the traditional plastic brush. We surely need one of it!

ZANOTTA: SACCO GOES GREEN!
Sacco by Zanotta celebrates 50 years: this symbol of the cultural transformation of 1968 returns renewed in a green edition, in recognition of the need for global change. Zanotta celebrates this anniversary by launching a numbered, limited edition collection: innovative and sustainable materials – both the internal padding and the cover, featuring a brand-new pattern designed by Pierre Charpin–elevate this iconic form while acknowledging our environmental responsibility.
Designed in 1968 by young architects Gatti, Paolini and Teodoro and put into production in 1969 by Zanotta, Sacco has been a revolutionary and disruptive project, and in keeping with the ideals of creativity and expression that so animated that time, ushered in a new era of freedom for the home. After 50 years, Sacco still maintains its relevance with the same avant-garde and experimental spirit.
The expanded high-resistant polystyrene pellets (EPS) of the original design are replaced by BioFoam® microspheres by Synbra: a bio-plastic (PLA) deriving from sugar cane that can be compared to EPS due to its structure, properties and technical performances. BioFoam® consists of biopolymers, which are made of vegetable materials (an infinite resource), it is biodegradable and it can be industrially composted, it is durable and is suitable for long-term use. The internal and external envelopes are made of ECONYL®, a completely renewed nylon thread derived from abandoned fishing nets recovered from the seabed, synthetic fabric and industrial plastic waste, that are transformed into a new thread with the same quality and properties as if it was made from oil. ECONYL® thread can be recycled, renewed and remodelled countless times without the use of any additional natural resources.
SACCO GOES GREEN marks an important step towards sustainability for Zanotta.
Good Job!
