Our Environmental Philosophy

Sustainable Materials

Responsibly Sourced Wood

• FSC-Certified Wood: A significant portion of our wooden furniture comes from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified forests, ensuring that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
• Reclaimed and Recycled Wood: We offer a selection of furniture crafted from reclaimed wood, giving new life to materials with rich history and character while reducing demand for newly harvested timber.
• Rapidly Renewable Materials: We incorporate fast-growing, renewable materials such as bamboo and rattan in our collections.

Eco-Friendly Fabrics and Materials

• Organic and Natural Fibers: Including organic cotton, linen, and wool that are produced without harmful chemicals and pesticides.
• Recycled Textiles: Fabrics made from recycled polyester and other post-consumer materials.
• Low-Impact Leather: Leather options that utilize more environmentally friendly tanning processes.
• Alternative Materials: Plant-based and innovative sustainable materials that offer alternatives to traditional resources.
