Ideal Bite

...heavyweight furniture company 4Korners. The other corner: Your tiny apartment. Don't throw in the towel just yet - Brooklyn's 4K builds knockout two-in-one pieces – a bench, bed, end table, and stools. The Platform Bed = dresser too with four large drawers underneath, and the Bar Stools work as end tables when you turn 'em on their side. 4K uses bamboo (rapidly renewable), and salvage and reclaimed wood like white oak from around the 'hood, as well as materials from Bettencourt Green Building Supplies. Final round: 4K enlists at-risk teens from Learning to Work to job train and work around the shop, plus donates sawdust to Red Hook's Added Value organic farm compost pile. Now get into the ring.
