Simbly

What better way to spend time with friends and/or loved ones than around a table. Yes, this means turning off your technology and turning on your active listening. Enter Simbly. This company designs modern, sustainable furniture products that are simple to assemble. This company was founded by Josh Dorfman, who wrote The Lazy Environmentalist and also happens to be a college classmate of mine … Hi Josh! He has created the next-generation of IKEA, but is direct to consumer. Their goal is to be not just sustainable, but also climate positive (Drawdown?). Translation: this means they use Eco-friendly materials, replace the wood they use by planting trees (one-for-one tree planting), use local labor (Asheville, NC), ship with eco-friendly packaging (recycled) and space-efficient (flat-pack) shipping, and insist on healthy indoor air quality (toxin-free materials). So, this is a way to buy a dining room table AND feel good about it!
