The navy floor tiles in another bathroom are from Mosaic House.

The original Emeco Navy 1006 (pronounced "ten oh six") chair caught the attention of famous modernist architects including Frank Gehry and Norman Foster. Knock-offs can be found worldwide but the authenticity of the Emeco chair is easily verified by finding indentions on the backside of the chair. Today, the company still manufactures the same 77-step design with recycled Coca-Cola bottles. Photo by Armando Bellmas.

The 111 Navy chairs are exact replicas of the beloved aluminum originals, down to the faux weld points on the backside.

The Geo Outline rug ($259) measures five-by-eight feet and is made from a wool-cotton blend. Your toes will thank you.

INES DUVET COVER We love the earth-toned gradients in this duvet, shown here in the sand colorway. It’s made from 100 percent linen, a material that wicks away moisture to keep you cool while you slumber.

Duck bag by Baggu "I love the thin blue stripe—it reminds me of France," Stubbs says. "I think it’d be perfect for commuting in New York. For the subway, it’s thin enough that you’re not going to be bumping people. But you can still fit a lot of stuff in there—it’s a great size for a laptop."

With all shipping included, the chair is $495, the love seat is $745, and the sofa is $995. The set is available in five colors and either black walnut or maple legs.

Knoll collaborated with fashion house Proenza Schouler on their second collection of fabrics for Knoll Luxe, a line created with high-end residential, executive office, and hospitality projects in mind.

One of the final steps is to install the H-Brace and feet, both fabricated on another mold.

Eight to ten trailer truckloads of PET bales—each measuring 80 cubic feet and consisting of 20,000 bottles—arrive for processing every weekday.

Inspired by sailor’s knots and the skies of the American west, this quilt is a collaboration between Oklahoman and expert quilter Meg Callahan and New York design store Hawkins. Titled Sailor's Knot Handmade Quilt, it comes in three colors (blue, gray, and red, which is seen here) and is an impressive 8ft by 8 ft.

This Duffel Bag is designed with the traveler in mind. Crafted from heavyweight canvas, the bag is roomy enough to accommodate a couple of days of clothing, but small enough that it is not too obtrusive. Simple and refined, this bag is an easy-going travel accessory.

Created as a collaboration between Meg Callahan and Hawkins New York, this Sailor’s Knot Handmade Quilt is inspired by sailor’s knots and the skies of the American west. The hand stitching recalls traditional American quilting techniques, while the screen-printed graphic gives a decidedly modern feel.

Navy Green Supportive Housing (Architecture in Formation) The bright red structure, called a "billboard building" by the architects, is meant to be a symbol and anchor for the mixed-income Navy Yard development. A cutting-edge home for the chronically homeless, the building's interior and garden—complete with a "rampitheater" for those with mobility issues—has won awards for its user-centric design.

The Lucent Cube: Yun Wan, Silvia Lopes, Balazs Fekete (London) One of two first prize proposals calls for a simple, polycarbonate structure, with teaching spaces and offices spread out over multiple levels. Inside, dividing walls can be easily rearranged, allowing for flexibility.

Skool Haus: Nikole Bouchard and Vanessa Moon (Milwaukee) Receiving an honorable mention, this concept—inspired by the Yard's naval history—envisions the learning process as something that can stay on land or move onto the water.

Each Navy chair begins life as 13 pounds of rPET plastic pellets, which are melted down and injected into the chair mold, a multiton device that functions like a gigantic waffle iron.

A view of the heavy machinery inside the New United Resource Recovery Corporation recycling plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

After the rPET mixture is heated and transformed via injection molding into a chair, a robotic arm removes it from the specially designed mold.

Over ten years, the UnPET process will prevent the release of one million metric tons of carbon dioxide—the equivalent of taking 215,000 cars off the road.

A worker smoothes any imperfections before manually installing the H-brace.

According to the firm, the modules for a 50,000-square-foot building would take only eight to 10 weeks to build in the factory.

“The demand definitely exceeds the supply,” says Robby Kullman of Capsys.

New York City recently signed off on a prefab micro-apartment complex, built with Capsys modules, to alleviate a housing shortage by adding much-needed units.

SOLID WHITE SATEEN DUVET Three cheers for Live Good’s sustainability commitment. Its beautifully finished products and components are made in the United States, like the organic cotton fabric and wooden buttons.

Unison is known for its gender-neutral bedding: Stripes and jaunty prints suitable for baby boys or girls are equally appealing to design-minded parents. (Sailor + Regatta crib set from Unison, $44–74)

On the top level of the structure lies an indoor garden, which receives sunlight by way of skylights.
