Sustainability Mission - Abroad

Mission Abroad

Through our strategic investments and partnerships, we empower communities to enhance their capabilities in sustainable and efficient ways. Our engagement with these communities goes beyond mere transactions; it’s about fostering long-term relationships that enable continuous improvement in every aspect of their operations. From the careful and responsible sourcing of raw materials to streamlining production processes, managing inventory with precision, and optimizing the packaging of goods for international shipping, we are committed to driving positive, lasting change across the globe. Our focus on material selection, sustainable sourcing, and efficient logistics ensures that the impact of our work extends far beyond the finished product.

One of the most striking examples of our commitment to sustainable practices is our approach to sourcing timber. We acquire massive trunks, sometimes up to 30 feet long, from naturally fallen trees, as well as through our partnerships with the governments of Thailand and Indonesia. These partnerships allow us to obtain timber that might otherwise go unused—when roads are widened, or land is cleared for essential infrastructure projects like schools, hospitals, and other public works, we invest in the acquisition of these uniquely imperfect pieces that are often overlooked by others. We see value where others might see waste, celebrating the natural beauty and character found in these raw materials.

This approach is a reflection of our broader philosophy: to find beauty in imperfection and to make use of materials that others might discard. The pieces we source are often considered unsuitable by traditional lumber and utility companies, but for us, these are precisely the elements that make our designs stand out. The knots, cracks, and irregularities in the wood are not flaws but features that add character and authenticity to our creations.

Once these materials are in our hands, they undergo a transformative process. Skilled artisans work to reveal the inherent beauty of the wood, crafting it into stunning consoles, dining tables, accent pieces, desks, and more. Each piece is not just a functional item of furniture but a work of art that tells a story—of the tree it came from, of the hands that shaped it, and of the commitment to sustainability and innovation that brought it to life.

These pieces find their way into homes, hotels, restaurants, and a variety of environments around the world, where they serve as focal points and conversation starters. Whether in a luxury hotel lobby or a cozy home dining room, our furniture enhances spaces with its unique blend of natural beauty and thoughtful design. By turning what others overlook into something extraordinary, we continue to set new standards in sustainable, impactful design, enriching the lives of those who create our products and those who enjoy them.
