These eco-friendly cork stool/side-tables speak for themselves, but that's not going to stop us from gushing that they're gorgeous and deserve a place in your home. Designed by Jasper Morrison, Vitra's selling them for £220 as part of the Vitra Home range. As well as gaining you kudos from your Wallpaper-reading mates, buying one will almost certainly help out a Portugese cork stripper. Cork's about as sustainable as you can get - it grows back after being harvested, doesn't require any chemicals to maintain and is recyclable too.
