Sustainable wooden furniture is the perfect blend of style and comfort, allowing you to live your cosy life in a striking home that delivers both warmth and aesthetics.
With a growing number of people investing in greener, more environmentally friendly furnishings, sustainable furniture is becoming a popular choice for its high durability and low environmental impact benefits.
Ultimately defined as any wood that hasn’t harmed the environment in order to obtain, sustainable wooden furniture has been manufactured from materials that have been harvested from forests that meet rigorous environmental, social and economic standards. This involves a comprehensive set of rules that comply with FSC standards, such as:
This ensures that the timbre hasn’t had a profound level of impact on the environment as a whole and has, therefore, been harvested in the most environmentally safe way possible.
When selecting sustainable wooden furniture, it’s important to consider the following:
Often seen as more important than the type of lumber, the rules and regulations of the forest determine that materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests that possess forest certification and avoid tropical woods, which could be derived from old growth rainforest and therefore, been cut illegally.
Buying wood from a local sawmill within your local area can help support sustainable forest management and therefore, benefit local business too. Sourced from local suppliers.
Eco-friendly wood doesn’t use chemicals like stains, glues and finishes that contain VOCs which can be harmful to both your health and environment. Avoids harmful materials.
Great question. There are many pieces of furniture using unsustainable wood, such as:
Woods such as Burmese teak, ebony, Brazilian mahogany, sapele and Merbau class as these and should be avoided.
Sourced from the tropics, such as Africa, South America and Asia, this wood is mainly used in outdoor projects.
With the slow growth of this, these rainforests can take years to fully regenerate. Hence, this is why this is one of the most unsustainable forms of logging.
A low-quality material, it’s significantly easier to throw away than repair this – consequently, it is hugely unsustainable.
Luckily, here at Fuscina, all of our hand-crafted furniture is made out of environmentally friendly wood. So, you don’t have to worry about what has come from a sustainable environment and what hasn’t, as it all has!
