Local and organic! Mod Green Pod in Standard Magazine's Special Spring Issue

Thank you, Standard Magazine, for the wonderful coverage of gloriously green life and design in Austin, Texas! I'm particularly proud of the grand fabric spread shot at Johnson's Backyard Garden.

I was initially drawn to organic cotton textiles because I knew I wanted to design fabric but I wanted MY product to be something that was just as safe for the environment and consumers as organically grown food. It's really exciting to see how much progress organic food has made in the past decade and it's thrilling to be working in an area that is closely following food. As consumer awareness of what we put INTO our bodies becomes more and more mainstream, we're starting to see more people understand that what surrounds us is equally important.

Mod Green Pod has been a leader in this growing movement and we're honored when others recognize the connection between our products and the food, health and sustainability movements. As these photos prove, it's a joyful place to be!

Mod Green Pod on InteriorDesign.net: Penny Bonda's blog.

Great day for coverage from some of our favorite sources! I was incredibly excited to see that Penny Bonda (popularly referred to as "the mother of green interiors" in the interior design industry) featured Mod Green Pod in her eco-design column at InteriorDesign.net, the online companion to Interior Design magazine. Thank you, Penny for the honor!

Mod Green Pod's Aspire spotted at the Hampton Designer Showhouse
















(photo credit: Habitually Chic)

Last week, I admired a group of photos from the Hampton Design Showhouse and somehow missed spotting our Aspire fabric on a floor cushion in Elizabeth Bailey's chic bedroom design. I'm certain that it was because my eyes went straight to the beautiful old turquoise rotary phone and I was overwhelmed by nostalgia for the object and the color. Luckily, our friend Lisa at City Living Girl, emailed us to make sure that we had spotted our fabric. Thanks, Lisa.

Now where can I get that phone?

Mod Green Pod at Dwell on Design Reclaimed Space house























While we're sad we're missing the Dwell on Design conference going on in LA this weekend, we're excited that our Bloom organic cotton fabric has found a beautiful spot in the Reclaimed Space house.

Eco style maven, Zem Joaquin, whose blog, Ecofabulous, is a Mod Green Pod fave, teamed up with an Austin company, Reclaimed Space, to bring one of the company's beautiful prefab homes to the show. Sustainably built from primarily reclaimed materials, the 400 square foot home is up for auction on ebay and 100% of the sale proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity Los Angeles. Zem and company were assigned the interior's design, and to mirror the construction style they chose mostly re-used, vintage pieces, some of which were given makeovers using sustainable materials. Mod Green Pod's Bloom fabric was chosen not only because it's organic cotton and free of nasty chemicals, but because it gave the small space a happy, colorful pop. More photos coming soon, and if you are interested in knowing more about the house, enjoy this video.

***edited to add that EKLA HOME reupholstered the chair for the show.
