Birch
Plywood
Our furniture is made of baltic birch, which is strong, lightweight,
and stable.
Baltic birch plywood is the best choice for furniture because of the
small quantity of glue needed in the actual panels. This creates a much
lighter environmental footprint as compared to MDF, particleboard, or
other engineered wood materials.
We
maximize our yield as much as possible to reduce waste, and reuse scrap
material for small pieces.
Shellac
All
our furniture parts are finished in traditional shellac, which creates
a natural, durable, water-proof finish that can be wiped clean easily.
Shellac is a time tested wood finishing material that is made from the
cocoons of a small beetle dissolved in alcohol.
This makes it safe enough to put in your mouth and chew on, in fact,
some apples, candy, and other fruits in the grocery are coated in shellac
to add shine.

Paint
We use water based interior wall
paints
for all our colors.
Painting is done to add contrast and interest to our pieces, but all
furniture is available in clear finish, fully painted, or any combination.
“Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the worlds
population without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs.”
