Green Fusion's Innovate Eco-Suite at Hotel
Triton in San Francisco Completed
Green
Fusion Design Center has created a new eco-suite at Hotel
Triton in downtown San Francisco. Green Fusion designed
the interior and selected the furnishings for this suite based
on environmentally sound, energy-efficient and healthy products.
Green Fusion collaborated with some of the most eco-savvy manufacturers
of natural home furnishings to design a room that exemplifies health,
style and sustainability. The room has an earthy décor with a
clean, comfortable and modern feel. The interiors feature earthen
plasters by American Clay and
paints by AFM
Safecoat Paints that
create warmth and depth. A springy cork floor by Natural
Cork is
easy on the feet. The furnishings include a sustainably forested
walnut desk, bench and headboard with beautiful curves and spiraling
wood grains to match the cork floor. A natural latex bed by Green
Sleep with all organic bedding by Coyouchi insure
healthy, restful sleep. The room is accented by shelving by Richlite and
floating Plyboo/bamboo nightstands by Skyside
Studios for guests' reading
comfort.
"The mission of Green Fusion is to promote the understanding and use of
green building practices by connecting homeowners, design professionals, builders
and the general public with natural, eco-friendly, healthy products and services," said
Greg Snowden, creator and founder of Green Fusion
Design Center. "The Green
Fusion eco-suite demonstrates that elegance and comfort can be environmentally
sensitive. The suite will provide a comfortable refuge and serve to educate hotel
guests on the benefits of green products."
The Hotel Triton has established itself as an "eco-chic" travel destination
for its commitment to reducing energy and water consumption, as well as implementing
numerous waste reduction practices and emphasizing organic materials. The hotel
was recently named the first "model hotel" from the State
of California's Green Hotels program. The hotel's eco-fashioned suites and rooms combine the
sophistication, playfulness, style and comfort with earth-friendly materials,
textiles and products. The suites were designed with the assistance of the Spitfire
agency of Sausalito, and 10 percent of the room charges are donated to the environmental
charities.
"Our collaboration with leaders in environmental stewardship
to design the eco-suites has helped us create a completely green
and eco-friendly hotel," said
Michael Pace, Kimpton Hotels City Manager and leader of the Kimpton
Hotels Eco-Program. "Green
Fusion's eco-suite blends comfort with function, style and sustainability,
and provides our environmentally-conscious guests with an attractive
accommodation alternative."
