Looking for a lounger that is every bit as stylish as it is sustainable? Well the Tonecoon by PIE checks off both boxes with its beautiful hand-woven water hyacinth and rattan frame. Water hyacinth is a highly-renewable natural fiber that grows so quickly in parts of Asia that it is often considered a nuisance, so the fact that it’s being used to create a durable and modern piece of furniture is pretty amazing. Plus, the Tonecoon is so versatile that it can be used as either an indoor piece or as outdoor seating.

To date sedums and succulents are thriving and courthouse visitors and employees are pleased to have this new bit of beautiful greenery.
