Crafting heirloom furniture with respect for people and planet

Our Commitment to Safe, Sustainable Design

At our core, we believe luxury should never come at the expense of health or environmental responsibility. Every decision we make—from fabric selection to frame construction—reflects our commitment to creating furniture that's as safe for your family as it is beautiful in your home.

Chemical-Free Performance

Traditional performance fabrics often rely on synthetic chemical treatments to achieve stain resistance. These treatments, known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have raised significant concerns among health and environmental experts. Found in everything from cookware to carpeting, these "forever chemicals" persist in the environment and human body, potentially causing long-term health issues.

Our approach is fundamentally different. We source fabrics that achieve superior performance through innovative fiber technology rather than chemical coatings. This means:

• No harmful chemical treatments were applied to achieve stain resistance
• Inherently safe fibers that perform better over time
• Family-safe materials you can trust around children and pets
• Environmental responsibility without compromising functionality

Innovative Fiber Technology

Our performance fabrics utilize upcycled olefin fibers—a remarkable example of turning waste into luxury. Olefin is created from petroleum byproducts that were historically discarded or burned off. The scientists who discovered how to transform this waste into useful materials were awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Environmental benefits of our fabric choice:

• Smallest carbon footprint of any upholstery fiber
• No water required for the dyeing process
• Minimal land use compared to cotton, linen, or wool production
• Upcycled materials that give new life to former waste products

Responsible Manufacturing Practices

Certified Sustainable Partners

We work exclusively with manufacturers who share our environmental values:

• Sustainable Furnishings Council members committed to industry-wide environmental practices
• Good Future Design Alliance participants working to reduce total waste by 50%
• MindClick Leader Status recognition for environmental health performance

Forest Stewardship

Our hardwood frames come from responsibly managed forests:

• FSC and SFI certified wood sourced from sustainable forestry operations
• Locally sourced lumber from within 200 miles of manufacturing facilities
• Engineered wood panels are used strategically to minimize waste
• Low VOC finishes for healthier indoor air quality

Waste Reduction & Recycling

Comprehensive recycling programs ensure minimal environmental impact:

• Nearly 100% waste recycling at manufacturing facilities
• Lean manufacturing strategies to streamline production
• Over 80% recycled metal in upholstery spring systems
• Sustainable packaging using primarily cardboard and paper materials

Healthier Materials Throughout

Foam & Cushioning

• Soy-based foam reduces petroleum-based substances by up to 20%
• CertiPUR-US certified foam meets strict safety standards
• Fire retardant-free construction for cleaner indoor air
• TB117-2013 compliant without harmful chemical treatments

Finishes & Hardware

• Low VOC stains and finishes protect indoor air quality
• Water-based treatments where possible
• Compliance with all US regulations for safety and environmental protection
• Third-party testing ensures material safety

Built to Last Generations

The most sustainable furniture is furniture that never needs replacement. Our commitment to quality construction means:

Heirloom Quality Construction

• Lifetime limited frame warranty reflects our confidence in durability
• Traditional joinery techniques that stand the test of time
• Premium materials chosen for longevity over cost savings
• Timeless design that transcends trends

Repairability & Longevity

• Replaceable cushions extend furniture life
• Repairable construction using traditional methods
• Available spare parts for long-term maintenance
• Restoration services to refresh rather than replace

Local & National Impact

Supporting American Manufacturing

• North Carolina production supports local communities
• American jobs throughout our supply chain
• Reduced shipping emissions from domestic production

Community Investment

By choosing American-made furniture, you're supporting:

• Skilled craftspeople maintain traditional techniques
• Local economies in manufacturing communities
• Shorter supply chains reduce environmental impact

Your Role in Sustainability

Caring for Your Investment

Proper care extends furniture life and maintains performance:

• Regular maintenance keeps furniture functioning optimally
• Gentle cleaning preserves fabric performance without harsh chemicals
• Professional services available for deep cleaning and restoration

End-of-Life Responsibility

When the time eventually comes:

• Donation programs help furniture find new homes
• Recycling guidance for responsible disposal
• Material recovery programs for component materials
• Restoration services to refresh rather than replace
