NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Award-winning green interior designer Debi Bodinus (www.4greendesign.com) has unveiled her all-new ECO-LUXURY™ line of truly green upholstered furniture.
The D’Bodinus ECO-LUXURY™ furniture line is sold by retail furniture stores, Eco-boutiques and interior designers. “Every facet of the D’Bodinus ECO-LUXURY™ line has been meticulously researched and sourced for a truly eco-friendly solution to upholstered furniture,” says Bodinus.“Finally, design style, flair and attention to detail do not need to be compromised by going green.”
Each piece in the D’Bodinus ECO-LUXURY™ furniture collection is composed of non-toxic, chemical-free, earth-friendly materials such as FSC Certified wood, 100 percent rubber latex foam, eco-wool, no VOC’s water-based glues and 95%recycled steel springs. Her ECO-LUXURY™ upholstery selections include organic and chemical-free textiles including linen, cotton, hemp, wool and bamboo.
Bodinus was recently awarded two prestigious awards from the Building Industry Association, including the Grand Award for Hawaii BuiltGreen Residential Remodel and the Carl Reppun Grand Award for Residential Remodel. “I have refined green interiors with award-winning design, luxurious comfort and eco-friendly production,” says Bodinus.
According to the US Green Building Council, today’s interior environments consume half of the world’s materials and resources, use twice as much energy and emit twice the amount of carbon dioxide as all of the cars on the road in the U.S.
“Through using strict processing guidelines, I have created truly green upholstered furniture that is void of the harmful chemical toxins typically found in any standard upholstered piece of furniture,” says Bodinus. “These chemical toxins can cause allergic reactions, asthma or more serious health problems. All these toxic chemicals out-gas into the air that fills our homes and buildings, which may be absorbed into our lungs and through our skin,” she adds.
Bodinus was inspired to become a green designer a decade ago when she learned of the effects of harsh chemicals contained in most building and interior materials and products. After losing her brother to lung cancer, Debi became deeply committed to designing only green projects.
“I am no longer willing to design an environment that is harmful to my client’s health and the planet,” she says. With this mission in mind, Debi launches D’Bodinus ECO-LUXURY™ through creating natural, beautiful environments, which combines her award-winning design skills, signature line of ECO-LUXURY™ furnishings and sustainable, green materials.
Her commitment to purely green products and materials reflect a new level of concern being woven into the world we create for a healthier future. For example, Bodinus says her recent project in Hawaii, which won BIA’s Grand Award for Hawaii BuiltGreen Residential Remodel and the Carl Reppun Grand Award for Residential Remodel, was created using these green products and materials:
- Custom-designed ECO-LUXURY™ upholstered furniture
- Borate-treated lumber to ward off termites
- Formaldehyde-free wall insulation
- Natural Tiger wood posts and railings
- Low e-glass windows and doors
- Natural stone, cork and glass flooring
- Lime plaster wall treatments
- VOC-free paints
- Energy-efficient LED lighting
- Natural wood countertops
- Organic beds and bedding
- Energy Star-rated appliances
- Low flow plumbing fixtures
“This all adds up to a peaceful, healthy home that not only increases one’s sense of well being, but also decreases energy consumption and costs with an increase in resale value,” says Bodinus. “Our homes especially provide a naturally safe, serene haven in which one can relax, restore and rejuvenate.”
Bodinus’ newest green business venture is Eco babyLuv™, a line of exclusively designed green baby furnishings and organic products, which are safe for baby and the planet.
