What is a sustainable home?

It’s a house made of or styled with sustainable (recycled, up-cycled, reused) materials, implementing the latest energy-efficient technologies as well as smart solutions. Think households that grow their own fruits/vegetables, live a natural/organic lifestyle, prefer solar panels and dream of living off the grid. These homes maintain awesome aesthetics, are mindful of the environment while making a conscious decision to choose all- things natural.

There's growing interest in eco-friendly furniture – and manufacturers of all sizes are coming to the table. The term ‘eco-friendly furniture’ can also be used to describe these items as they’re produced using recycled materials - the ultimate environmentally-friendly combination of recreating something exciting and new from unused and discarded items.

Our Reclaimed furniture is made from elm wood. Elm is known for its strength, durability and character, and features beautiful knots and deep grains. Mostly salvaged from old barns, factories, railway tracks and warehouses - in a state of disrepair. The material is then sorted, cleaned and transformed to take on a new form, given a second chance to shine.

Designers and manufacturers of natural furniture pieces use innovative methods and green materials to bridge the gap between sustainability and functionality. By using sustainable wood and other environmentally-safe materials to make stylish, functional furniture, it offers an opportunity to lessen our carbon footprint.

If everyone starts with themselves, in their own homes, we’d be one big step closer to an environmentally conscious way of living, a healthier home/lifestyle and a protected environment.

Overview of key facts

1.      Sustainable furniture is not only healthier and more environmentally friendly than conventional variants,they are often made with more mindfulness, which is why they are not only timeless and detailed, they’re also durable. Accordingly, a slightly higher investment will pay off in the future.

2.      It's often handmade using Natural materials and resource-saving processes. This is why the products are not only environmentally friendly, but also unique.

3.      The comfort of a sustainable piece of furniture can be enjoyed to the fullest, since neither a person, nor nature, the environment or other living things have been negatively impacted by the manufacturing process, so you can relax with a clear conscience
