We follow green practices in our business and select vendors and suppliers who have a similar sustainable outlook.

Virtually every industry is waking up to the importance of environmental issues and working to provide better alternatives, the furniture industry included.

Recycling is the best, including directly recycled items such as antiques, but there are indirect means as well such as taking old case pieces and rebuilding doors and drawers to suit modern configurations, or taking non-furniture items such as wheels, door frames, or grapevine roots and fashioning furniture pieces from them. Many manufacturers use reclaimed lumber from fencing, flooring, structural supports and the like to provide an appealing vintage charm with a great eco story and the solidity and utility of new construction.

Alternatively, a company can use good wood choices, starting with certified lumber from carefully managed forests. FSC certification is the gold standard with an extremely rigorous process to ensure that wood is sourced from carefully managed forests and with representatives in the field that ensure that companies are in compliance. SFI is another, though less rigorous, certification program. Another approach is to emphasize wood types that are fast-growing, renewable resources commercially harvested for use in a variety of industries. Such species include Mango and Bamboo. Avoid species known to be threatened such as new Teak and Mahogany and/or subtropical hot spots of the world known for endangered forests and illegal logging such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and South America unless you have proven certification. Lastly, water-based finishes are a far superior choice vs. common varnishes, lacquers, and shellacs which can contain toxic petroleum or synthetic-based solvents.

When you shop, don’t be afraid to ask.
