Everyone’s a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day—so this year, we’re celebrating the charm of green in design. From sustainable seating to showstopping surfaces, these products are not only stunning in shades of emerald, moss, and sage but also reflect a deep commitment to eco-conscious craftsmanship.
1. Turf’s Step Acoustic Ceiling Scape Tiles
Turf’s Step acoustic ceiling scape tiles are green in every sense of the word. Made from 60% pre-consumer recycled polyester (PET) felt, they embody the brand’s commitment to sustainability. Available in Turf’s Hues palette, which includes a range of rich green shades, Step offers design flexibility with various layouts and textures like Wood and Stone. Shown here in colors 01 Cream and 10 Topo Green, Step doesn’t just look good—it’s DECLARE Red List Free, HPD v2.2 certified, REACH compliant, and CDPH v.12 compliant. Sustainable and sound-absorbing? That’s a win-win.
2. Ceramics of Italy’s Eco-Friendly Tile Collection
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are a natural choice for eco-conscious designers. Made from sand and clay, they’re free of plastic and VOCs and have a 50+ year lifespan. Ceramics of Italy manufacturers take sustainability seriously, recycling 100% of waste products during production and implementing strict measures to minimize environmental impact. Many have received EPD, LEED, and Greenguard certifications and prestigious B Corp status. When style meets substance, you know you’re onto something good.
3. HON’s Confer Guest Seating
HON’s Confer seating proves that sustainable design can be both inviting and versatile. Crafted from responsibly sourced hard maple—a renewable resource—Confer maximizes material efficiency by repurposing wood scraps to create corner blocks for the chair’s frame. The remaining wood byproducts are sent to local farms for animal bedding. It’s a full-circle approach that makes sustainability feel effortless.
4. Room & Board’s Hahn Wall Shelves
Room & Board continues to show off its sustainable craftsmanship with the Hahn wall shelves. Designed in collaboration with Fin Design and Cambium Carbon, these shelves are crafted from reclaimed orchard wood—breathing new life into natural materials while reducing waste. Finished with natural oil and wax, Hahn is a beautiful example of how thoughtful design can be environmentally responsible.
5. Fisher & Paykel Series 11 Column Refrigerators
Fisher & Paykel recently introduced its new premium Series 11 column refrigerators, freezers, and bottom-mount refrigeration freezers, combining sleek design with improved energy efficiency. These refrigerators feature two evaporators that create variable temperature zones, preserving ingredients longer and reducing food waste. The brand’s ActiveSmart™ Technology learns users’ daily habits and adjusts temperature accordingly, while highly efficient vacuum insulation minimizes heat transfer. It’s innovative, sustainable, and stylish—exactly what modern kitchens need.
Whether you’re going all-in with emerald tones or just adding a hint of mossy green, these designs make it easy to channel the luck of the Irish all year round.
