Knoend forays into green furniture with the newly designed bean rockers - a line of low, ergonomic rocking seats and the cit tables - a series of multi-configuration tables which are scheduled to be shown at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in NYC May 17-20. Knoend (Know no end) is a San Francisco company established in 2006 that focuses on designing environmentally friendly consumer products. Their previous products have included a no-packaging waste lamp, and a salvaged parachute handbag.

San Francisco, CA (Bluehost/PRWeb) April 22, 2008 -- Knoend adds to their lineup of eco-friendly goods with two new debuts this May. The Bean Rocker series is an exploration in dynamic and flexible ways of inhabiting our spaces. The rocking seats are adaptable to many body types and shapes with four models including a model specifically made for mom-to-bes (the Sprout Rocker). Knoend worked with designer Ahmed Khouja to produce the Bean Rockers using sustainable materials. The bean rockers come flat-packed or assembled (for a fee), are made with FSC certified maple plywood finished with natural linseed oil, standard steel hardware, and each comes with a padded cushion. Colors and patterns of textiles depend upon availability.

The Cit Table series is a line of multiconfiguration tables that comes in three (or more) set ups. The concept is to create versatile furniture pieces that can easily change with mood or function desired. Like simple puzzles, these tables offer flexibility and interactivity. The Cit Tables will be available in FSC-certified wood or other sustainable board material and produced by OrganoTM Natural Furnishings.

The bean rockers and cit tables are scheduled to debut during the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York May 17-20, 2008. Design companies and independent designers from all over the world congregate in New York City during ICFF to show off their newest designs for the year. Knoend's products will be on view at booth #2338 at the Javitz Center.

Knoend will also be concurrently holding a special ecodesign installation "Playspace" at the Karin Kohlberg located at 3 West 30th Street #4 in Manhattan. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m.-6 p.m., May 17-20. An opening Tea Party will be held, May 16 at 7 p.m.
