(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) January 19, 2012 – Clean line storage consoles are a dime a dozen in the home furnishings world. Words like “cheap” and “boring” spring to mind. However, this week’s Greenspiration Home American Made Pick-of-the-Week from Housefish truly raises the bar with its “Key AV” console. An ingenious design and an oh-so-stylish inclusion of nature makes this functional piece of furniture a real standout. And, of course, it’s 100% Made in the USA!
Engineered with Racecar Ingenuity The Key AV is a versatile audio/video storage console that ships flat and assembles easily--the only tool needed is a hammer. Laser-cut decorative doors solve the problem of where to put electronics and still have them accessible for the remote control signals. See what we mean by ingenious? “Our approach was to use the sort of automated high tech manufacturing processes that American industry has been a leader in,” said Scott Bennett, owner and designer of Housefish. Trained as a racecar engineer and raised by parents who owned a retail furniture store, Bennett approaches furniture design with an eye on quality as well as out-of-the-box thinking. “I’ve found that a lot of sustainable design options actually reduce costs as long as you’re not already tied to some legacy system,” said Bennett. Housefish only uses FSC certified wood and VOC free finishes and all of the company’s furnishings are made in Denver, Colorado from domestically sourced components. While Housefish has a small offering of furniture now, we at Greenspiration Home have been told to watch out for the launch of a desk, a line of small tables, and a chair! Check them out at www.housefish.com where they sell directly to the public. Greenspiration Home LLC is an online resource dedicated to helping homeowners build, renovate, and decorate green. The Greenspiration Home American Made “Pick-of-the-Week” campaign is part of the publication’s initiative to educate consumers about domestically made home décor options. GREE20243
