So You Wanna Be a Locavore

There are all kinds of ways to be a locavore. In fact, there’s no reason to stop at eating locally. You could also source furniture from a 100-mile radius.

We know Crate & Barrel is your home away from home, but designers are innovating right under your nose. Open Lot, a studio and venue that promotes local furniture design, has juried an exhibition called Contemporary Furniture in its Natural Habitat. Check out a chair that turns in three directions as well as a cluster of lighted tree stumps that’ve been fashioned into side tables. These and the other nine pieces on display may or not be for sale – you’ll have to ask. Make sure to tell the designer it’s for a good cause.

Sauce pick: Cool, local furniture
Where to get it: Sat., May 17 – 6 to 10 p.m., Open Lot, 1310 S. 18th St., St. Louis
Info: 314.588.2191 or www.openlot.org
