Eco-Conscious Home Furnishings at Kitchens + Interiors Greening your home can be easy when it comes to decorative accessories, but where does one go for environmentally friendly interiors? Kitchens + Interiors is your one-stop-shop in this forward-thinking field. Founded in 2007 by home furnishings specialist Winston Lam, the store offers high-end European kitchen and interior products. Lam also firmly believes in maximizing our own wellbeing and combining stylish design with a low environmental impact. Each of his handpicked brands is a leader in cutting-edge design and/or sustainable practices. Among the products available at the home furnishings store are innovative kitchen solutions by Del Tongo from Italy. As tailor-made as a fine Italian suit, yet affordably priced, the kitchens are completely customisable. And since 2010 Del Tongo kitchens only use E0 rating wood panels with ‘zero’ formaldehyde emissions, ensuring the healthiest homes possible. Normally the toxic substance used in resin can be particularly harmful in the kitchen, as the heat and humidity increase the rate at which it is released. Furthermore, Kitchens + Interiors also features eco-friendly bio-alcohol fireplaces by Safretti, as well as Vincent Sheppard wicker furniture from Belgium and 100 percent biodegradable natural wall-to-wall Wilton carpets by Louis de Poortere from Belgium. The carpets and rugs are 100 percent eco-friendly, completely chemical free and made from un-dyed wool. To further green your walls, ceilings and floors, Lam has brought Alphenberg of Holland to Hong Kong, a forward-thinking brand that specializes in genuine water buffalo leather tiles. The natural tannage process and use of natural dyes ensures minimal impact on the environment and the product itself is free of toxins, making the leather tiles the perfect fit for a healthy yet stylish home environment.
