Healthy Furniture

Green Daily reports today on the really distressing news that more than two thirds of retail furniture tested in the San Francisco area contained halogenated fire retardants, which “have been linked to cancer, birth defects, hormone disruption, reproductive dysfunction and several learning disabilities.” The site then goes on to list eco-friendly furniture alternatives, and I thought I’d do my part and add a few office furniture options here.

• Snyder contemporary two-seater sofa
• Penguin lounge chair
• Hosta lounge chair
• Teknion wood tables

Note that fire retardants are also an issue in the plastic casing found on some office machines.
