Cutting edge design meets eco living? Sounds like you can have your cake and eat it, too. This video takes us to New York's HauteGREEN design exhibition that showcases the best in sustainable design for the home. We've never thought of recycling paper into "paperstone," a material hard enough to make chairs and countertops, but these 57 designers from around the world aren't pulling punches. From turning felt scraps into a rug you don't have to vacuum to growing air-purifying plants using solar panels, there are tons of great ideas here that will make you look twice. And greenest of all, these pieces are built to last, wasting fewer materials and making sure that our planet can last a little while longer, too.
