Sustainability

Thoughtful choices.
Furniture worth keeping.

Choose thoughtfully. Make with care. Look after what you bring home. Our approach starts with respect for materials, the people who work with them, and a piece’s useful life.

Know what you are choosing

Good decisions begin with the details.

Responsible sourcing is an ongoing priority. Suitability, quality, and origin all matter when choosing materials for a piece of furniture.

Wood, chosen for the design

Our collection includes solid wood and engineered wood, depending on the piece. Read the product specifications for the materials used.

More than one material

Metal, cane, and upholstery serve different purposes in different designs. We encourage you to ask about construction and components.

Ask about what matters

If a particular material or origin is important to your purchase, contact us before ordering so we can review the product details with you.

Ask about a product’s materials

Craft and livelihoods

Made by people.
Shaped by experience.

Carpentry, carving, cane weaving, upholstery, finishing, and packaging bring together many skills. Choosing handcrafted furniture helps sustain demand for this work and the knowledge passed through practice.

A longer view

Make room for lasting use.

A piece’s useful life continues long after delivery. Choosing carefully and caring for its materials can help it remain part of your home.

Choose the right fit

Check dimensions, room layouts, and delivery access. A piece that works in your space is easier to keep using.

Plan before making

Many of our furniture pieces are made to order, allowing production to respond to the selected design, size, and finish.

Care for the finish

Protect surfaces from heat and moisture. Wipe spills promptly, and use care methods appropriate to the material and finish.

Where suitable, repair or refinishing can extend a valued piece’s use. Contact us before attempting work that could affect its structure or finish.

Protection with a purpose

A careful journey
matters too.

Furniture needs protection during transport. We aim to balance the materials used with the protection needed to reduce the risk of damage.

What may be used

Depending on the item, packaging may include foam corner guards, foam sheets, bubble wrap, corrugated cartons, and protective fillers.

After your delivery

Reuse suitable materials where possible. Separate packaging and check your local recycling facilities, since acceptance differs by material and location.

Helpful answers
