RECLAIM Check, By Clare Martin
Reclaimed timbers offer the design particulars of wood as well as the personal gratification of conservation.

•Fair Trade: Reclaimed wood typically comes from structures that are being demolished—but furniture maker Global Surroundings takes a slightly different approach. The company purchases old teak homes in Indonesia and dismantles them, constructing brand-new brick homes for the families who live there. Meanwhile, Global Surroundings uses everything from the front door to floorboards to construct pieces such as this simple, hefty Taos Bench. $1,100.
