Environmental Responsibility
Working with a valuable natural resource such as wood comes with a responsibility. While lumber is a renewable resource, that is only the case if we actually strive to make it so. We always take care to acquire our lumber from responsible sources, and utilize the absolute most out of our material. Much of our lumber comes from relatively local sources, saving time, energy + burning less fuel.
We also utilize shellac along with only the highest quality water borne finishes, taking advantage of the most recent advances in finishing chemistry + technology. Our main topcoat is an ultra-low VOC , 100% water borne acrylic lacquer. At only 41g/l of VOCs, it’s one of the safest chemical finishes available.
Creating Heirloom Quality Furniture
Our Furniture is built with the intention of possessing a lifespan longer than that of your own. The idea is to only buy once; preserving resources for everyone. Less time + money will be spent, less trees will be cut, and less fuel will be burned when engaging purchases with this type of ideology. See our product quality page for more information.
