Taking care of the environment is everyone’s job, we take our part very seriously.

After all, we are in the business of creating beautiful, comfortable, and durable

natural wood furniture meant to be used and enjoyed outdoors. In addition, many

of our products are crafted from superior Shorea wood, a variety of hardwood

that’s so well-suited for furniture construction that little processing is required to

alter it from its natural state.

Below are a few of the ways we maintain our commitment to eco-friendly

operations:

Abundance of Shorea wood. Shorea trees grow primarily in the

rainforest regions of Southeast Asia, where shrewd reforestation

strategies have ensured constant tree repopulation. Though this precious

natural resource remains plentiful, Shorea wood is carefully regulated.

Only mature trees can be legally harvested, a process that requires

governmental permission and proof of the tree’s sufficient age. Younger

trees are left to grow and reproduce until they’re mature enough to

harvest. These regulations have ensured a steady supply of Shorea

wood, while also protecting irreplaceable forests. In addition to a lower

price tag, the wide availability of Shorea wood provides an important

benefit when compared to teak.

Sustainable harvesting. Shorea wood is a natural and sustainable

resource. Per harvesting regulations, only trees of a certain size (20” or

greater in diameter, in most cases) can be legally cut. This protects

younger, more vigorous trees so they can grow and repopulate the

forests. These and other conservation measures are responsible for the

flourishing of Shorea forests, while also ensuring a steady and renewable

source of this beautiful wood.

Chemical-free production. We are proud to note that a majority of our

furnishings are created without the use of chemicals, with no harmful by-

products released back into the environment. We do our best to keep

things simple. Because we obtain our exquisite Shorea from superior

sources, minimal processing is required to bring out the wood’s stunning

colors and grains. We base our policies on our profound respect for

nature—it provides for us, and we do what we can to return the favor.

precious and expendable, so we take steps to conserve them during our manufacturing process. The result of our efforts is a smaller carbon footprint and the inspiration of further conservation work, both inside and outside the company. Because we specialize in crafting one-of-a-kind wood furniture, we depend on nature for our livelihoods.
