Hey,
Here are some examples of sustainable furniture! I have put the name of the pieces I thought were interesting on each site..

Magazines and Junk Mail Transformed
ReVision tables, created by teen artists apprenticing at Artists for Humanity in Boston, are meant as a response to the growing market need for innovative sustainable design. They’re made from reclaimed junk mail and magazines, rolled up and stacked together in the form of tables which are then finished with non-VOC eco-friendly resin that makes them water-resistant and easy to clean.
Chairs from 100% Recycled Plastic Bottles
Cohda Design makes chairs out of 100% waste plastic. The chair is called ‘RD4’, with RD standing for ‘roughly drawn’. How appropriate considering that the chair looks like a sketch come to life. The second photo, via Inhabitat, shows how the chair is made by winding the extruded plastic around a form.
