Drill Design is set to unveil these new Paper Wood Stools at this week’s Milan Furniture Fair with the tag line that “off the rack” just will not do. Composed of wood veneer and recycled paper, these stools break the mold by moving away from the one size fits all paradigm. Not only are they light of weight and sturdy in strength but they come in a variety of heights to seat everyone from tiny tots all the way up to the towering Shaquille O’Neals in the crowd.

The new film “The Greening of Southie” chronicles the construction of the Macallen building, South Boston, Massachusetts’ first eco-friendly structure and shows how the workforce is getting “greener.” The film documents the use of recycled steel in the construction and the installation of living roof made up of soil and plants that cleans the city air. It also shows the retraining of the area’s workforce to use these new technologies.
