We’ve just received some press PDFs from Docol Magazine in Brazil, showing how they’ve included our Domino coffee table in their ‘Sustainable Design’ feature.
We’re not sure why or how, but SIDD Fine Woodworking in general has actually gotten a lot of interest from both customers and retailers in Brazil. All the interest we receive is very welcome, of course… and yes, to answer an increasingly common question, we do ship to Brazil.
Homeowners looking for a more responsible way to keep their houses cool in the summer and warm in the winter may soon have a viable alternative to that good old pink fiberglass insulation so many of us have suffered through installing.
When I first read this question, posed by environmental marketing agency TerraChoice, the initial knee-jerk response that popped into my head was something along the lines of “too many”.
Of the limited number of products we’ve released thus far, the most popular has to be our Domino table.
Domino is being featured in upcoming print magazines in Canada, Brazil and Europe, as well as boasting a spot in a book being published in Paris next year, and coverage in dozens of independent international design websites and online magazines. Not to mention a few select celebrities who have requested one as a gift.
We could never have anticipated such a warm response.
Cathedral ceilings and open concept living spaces always look so luxurious on the pages of interior design magazines. But in reality, for the rest of us, these spaces present a unique challenge when it comes to furnishing them and making them our own.
To make things a bit easier for design and industry bloggers, we’ve added a full-view 1024×768 screen resolution image for each of our current products. You’ll find the link for these images in the lower right corner of each product page, where the line sketches used to be.
Nathan Sherdoff’s new book “Design is the Problem” is being heralded as a must read for designers in all disciplines, as well as businesspeople and consumers at large. The subtext, “the future of design must be sustainable” comes not from a trend-driven greenster or hippie at heart, but rather from a logical, sensible approach to design.
For the month of April, we’ve agreed to offer a 10% discount on all orders (including customs and commissions) via our friends at SustainLane.
SustainLane.com is a community driven site, featuring personal accounts, tips and advice, news, and business/product reviews for sustainable living. The site also features a section called the GreenSaver, a directory of weekly discounts offered on environmentally conscious goods and services. Definitely worth checking out.
As many of you are probably aware, there is a drive underway this month encouraging people to unite and donate to organizations fighting hunger at home. April Food Day is asking all those who write blogs and those who read them to donate $1.00 in April.
Most of us could probably dig one dollar out from under the sofa cushions, yet it equates to ten pounds of food, or seven full meals. Of course, people are encouraged to donate any amount. Please help us fight hunger.

In another little bit of pleasant news, we’ve just been notified that SIDD has won the Nodus Silver Award. The award is given to designers of high quality websites, and according to the parent company Aylis, is fairly difficult to win.
