When it comes to finding unique materials for their gorgeous handcrafted interiors, New York-based design firm Aellon has carved out a special niche – with shipwrecks. Although their team uses regular reclaimed or sustainably-sourced timber as well, their furniture made from timber harvested from the remains of ships that never made it back to port is particularly noteworthy, and incredibly durable as well. They’ll be strutting their stuff at BKLYN Designs 2013, so if you’re around, stop on by for a closer look at their unique chairs, desks and other fabulous green interiors.

Although Aellon often has to source new wood for their designs, when they do, they commit themselves to purchasing wood that has been grown and harvested responsibly. But their most exciting pieces are those made from reclaimed shipwrecked boats. Pieces in the Grace Line series include the minimalist Leif Stool and gorgeous Duke Oval Coffee Table that is, unfortunately, currently out of stock.

They have several other desks, tables, mirrors and chairs that are equally beautiful, as this Brooklyn-based firm pays careful attention to sourcing only the highest quality materials – new or reclaimed, all of which are specifically designed to “last longer than a lifetime.” Be sure to stop on by and say hello if you’re heading to BKLYN Designs 2013 in May.
