Graham & Brown, the 60-year-old company well-known for its magnificent wallpapers, has taken sustainability to the next level with their range of eco-chic wallpapers made using sustainable materials and production processes. They've asked 22 students from Central St. Martins University in London to submit design briefs for sustainable wallpapers, five of whom were chosen to have their designs produced and displayed at this year's 100% Design in London. The company stayed green by using materials from sustainable forests in Finland and omitting tape and plastic from packaging. They even recycle heat given off by furnaces, reduce drainage to prevent local flooding problems, and use vegetable oil within tractor hydraulics to keep forest floors clean.

    OoOoO, I love the wallpaper on the right. I appreciate the fact that they're also made from recycled material. Smiling

    this is great. Smiling i like the design with leaves on it - when it is heated up by a radiator little pink/red flowers pop up. so cute and ingenious!
