Great question! Yes, our benches are proudly made locally. We work with skilled artisans and small workshops right here in the community, which not only supports local jobs but also drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping. By sourcing materials from nearby suppliers whenever possible, we ensure that each bench carries a story of local craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.
Now, about our sustainability policy — it’s woven into everything we do. We prioritize using responsibly sourced, renewable, and recycled materials. For example, our wood comes from FSC-certified forests, and our metal parts are often made from post-consumer recycled steel. We also minimize waste by optimizing cutting patterns and repurposing offcuts into smaller products or packaging.
Beyond materials, we are committed to ethical production practices. Our workshops follow fair labor standards and maintain energy-efficient operations. We also offer a take-back program: when a bench reaches the end of its long life, we can recycle or refurbish it, keeping it out of landfills.
So yes, local manufacturing and sustainability go hand in hand in our benches — because we believe great design should never cost the planet. Feel free to ask if you’d like details on specific materials or certifications!
