True Value Declares ‘Design SOS’0
September 20, 2010 – 11:42 am
A lot of people love wood paneling, shag carpeting and beaded drapes; it doesn’t mean they should actually own those things.

Manufactured by New York-based SMIT (Sustainably Minded Interactive Technology), Solar Ivy is inspired by natural ivy which grows beautifully on the sides of buildings, even though vertical [...]
