Recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, renewable — this dominant trend of the 2009 NY Gift Show was apropos as we struggle with a sagging economy and an overtaxed planet.

A few companies to seize the trend: Sugaboo, which offers charming wall art made from planks of driftwood. Oly Studio, with the Reclaimed natural teak chair coming soon to koodekir.com.

Colorful Loyal Loot Log bowls at monkegrassonline.com. And Artecnica’s Transneomatic Tire Bowl at unicahome.com.

A few other standouts from the show:

The gorgeous new “Tonale” dishware by David Chipperfield for Alessi.

Kiel Mead’s “Birdie Lite,” a hanging light made from an authentic goose feather shuttlecock, coming soon to thefutureperfect.com.
