It’s Easy Being Green

Mod Green Pod

It’s been many years since you learned that fewer chemicals meant better taste.

With food (pass the pesticide-free beets and hormone-less tenderloin), with beauty (easy on the hair spray, sister), and now with the home.

So tear that synthetic-sprayed fabric off the sofa and rip the vinyl from the walls. Mod Green Pod is rolling out beautiful, 100 percent organic, chemical-free cotton goods.

The MGP products found in the Webster & Company showroom in the Boston Design Center constitute acres of fabrics silk-screened by hand, along with matching wallpapers in pretty patterns loaded with butterflies, bold ticking stripes, and pink and chocolate damask prints.

Normally, the showroom sells only to the trade, but you can set up a one-time buy through the center’s Designer On Call program — and score enough toxin-free textiles to brighten up your little world.

Not to mention the one at large.

Mod Green Pod, Webster & Company, Boston Design Center, 1 Design Center Place, suite 144-242 (617-670-2000 or modgreenpod.com). To set up an appointment through Designer On Call, call 617-338-5427 or visit bostondesign.com.
