Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.
Charcoalmaker Lazzari teamed up with design firms Mike and Maaike and Design Annex to create a recycled, biodegradable paper-pulp tub filled with lump charcoal. Light the bottom of the tub, and an integrated chimney helps heat the coals, without chemicals or lighter fluid. Plus, the casing burns away, so it's less messy for the cook — and the environment.
