Green and Greener’s housewares are good for the planet, fun for the home

Organic, sustainable and energy-efficient products are the stars of the show at Green and Greener, an eco-conscious general store created by interior designer Alegre Ramos. The month-old store in Valley Village offers green design consultations and special-order materials that include recycled glass tile and clay plaster wall finishes. It also sells vintage furniture and contemporary housewares such as cork jigsaw puzzle place mats from Mio Culture, $19.99 for a box of 12 pieces. The low-wattage Bubbly Chandelier, which Ramos made for the store, saves electricity without sacrificing style, recycling Champagne bottles as pendants for compact fluorescent bulbs. As shown here, the made-to-order piece of five bottles and five 1-watt LED bubbles is $1,150, with customers providing their own empties. 4838 Laurel Canyon Blvd. (818) 358-4313 or www.green-and-greener.com.
