DESCRIPTION:

Urban Hardwoods was founded in Seattle in 2002 as the most progressive and responsible wood furniture manufacturer and retailer in America. Stores in San Francisco, Seattle, and West Hollywood showcase an array of slab furniture made from trees salvaged in the Pacific Northwest.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT:

Wood used in production comes primarily from urban trees, salvaged due to disease or natural causes. No part of the manufacturing process is outsourced, including the steel work. Production, from milling to completion, takes place within a 2 mile radius and has been designed to minimize and reuse as many resources as possible. Generally the time from salvage to final product is 2 to 3 years, most of that time spent patiently drying in our green room.

INDUSTRY TYPE:

Furniture

MARKET FOCUS:

Residential

AWARDS:

Sustainable Industries Magazine awarded Urban Hardwoods as one of the Top 10 Green Building Products of 2008 for its tree salvaging efforts and reducing waste and resources in its drying and milling process.
