Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers at this year's HauteGREEN - helping to set up Friday, helping with the Friday party, working the door Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

We were amazed with the turnout at all of the events, from the party to the panel discussions. Most impressive - from all of the design week events we experienced, at HauteGREEN everyone was talking about how things were made, where they come from, and were asking compelling questions about sustainability.

Check out our site in coming weeks for more of the backtstory behind the products on display at HauteGREEN.
