These elegant, linen-style, organic-hemp accent pillows, made by Loop Organic of Brooklyn, were chosen as an example of “best in sustainable design for the contemporary home” during New York’s HauteGreen 2006 design show.

“When I started in this business, there were organic-cotton linens on the market, but in limited colors,” Loop Organic president Carmel Campos says. “I thought if we could raise the bar in terms of style and selection, we could broaden the market.”

Campos chose water-efficient, sustainable hemp for her birch-leaf pillows. Loop treats its fabrics with hydrogen peroxide rather than chlorine bleach and colors them with low-impact dyes. Birch pillow hand-printed on organic hemp linen with natural kapok filling: $100. (800) 987-5667; www.LoopOrganic.com
