Modern clean 100% Recycled HDPE furniture including a few tubular steel pieces – very tasteful design for outdoors or indoors with sophisticated, yet bold and fun proportions! Adirondack, Italian, and Modernism-inspired and infused tables, chairs, benches, planters and containers. Loll’s polyethylene material is derived from sheet stock and is non-porous, which keeps the elements out (vs other companies using more porous extruded material) and UV protection is added, resisting color fade. All products are, in turn, 100% recyclable.
Loll strives to be green wherever possible – from natural ventilation and day lighting to opting for wind power through their power company. Their website even shows the number of recycled milk jugs that go into each product. Made in USA.

Barn Light Electric: Retro Industrial Modern Lighting
:: TONS of selection and options :: Vintage and modern design permutations
Barn Light makes those cool metal gooseneck, wall-mount lighting that you see on barns and high up on storefronts, also illuminating signs. With a timeless modern industrial look, they fit in many different environments. They also make the stylish vapor light fixtures, which you may see in mine shafts or other industrial space- and hanging metal pendant restaurant lighting (also looks great above a pool table)… and have ventured into minimalist and crisp modern designs.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, their surprisingly large stock continues with slight profile variations and galvanized or modern brushed metal finishes… all with pretty amazing prices! I really like their term “atomic era lighting” – describing futuristic, yet retro forms. Lamps range from barn lights to wall sconces and gooseneck lighting, to ceiling lighting, chandeliers, bath bars, ceiling fans, outdoor and sign lighting. Brass hardware includes hooks, towel bars, mirrors, drawer pulls, door knockers, soap dishes and more.
Surprisingly, they also have vintage industrial furniture with steel framing and wood-block table tops. Very rectangular, solid and built from locally salvaged materials for use as workbenches, utility carts, or kitchen islands.
