Built Better: Cleaner By Design

 

Our Why

Sustainability is often defined by materials, certifications, and short-term metrics. But that’s only part of the equation.

We take a more comprehensive approach. Material selection, durability, responsible manufacturing, and product lifespan are all interconnected. Products made with better materials, designed for long-term performance, and manufactured with intention can help reduce overall environmental impact.

This approach moves beyond isolated sustainability measures and focuses on the full lifecycle of a product.

Green Statement

Newest Initiative: Solar Panels

We Installed 1,600 Solar Panels

We believe clean energy powers a better tomorrow.

Making Progress: Building responsibly isn't always simple. With more than 95% of our products made in the USA, we have the ability to oversee the journey from sourcing to assembly and make more intentional decisions along the way. Still, we're not perfect, and we don't pretend to be. Our Sustainability Report is an honest look at where we're making progress, where we're falling short, and the work that remains as we continue striving to do better.

Highlights of Responsible Sourcing


Water-based Paints & Stains   

We select materials that are better for the environment and complete rigorous product testing to deliver the quality you expect. Our water-based paints and stains reduce VOCs, helping us create more sustainable visual communication tools you can rely on.   

Porcelain – Low VOC Materials

Porcelain surfaces are specified for low VOC emissions to support improved indoor air quality in commercial environments.

Glass – Naturally Low Emitting

Glass components are naturally low-emitting and suitable for healthy interior applications.

Fabrics – PVC-Free & PFAS-Free

Our fabrics are PVC-free and PFAS-free, removing the use of persistent synthetic coatings commonly used for water and stain resistance. This supports a reduced environmental impact by avoiding chemicals that do not readily break down in the environment.


LEVEL 2 Certified 

LEVEL is a voluntary certification program developed by the BIFMA, in which independent third-party auditors evaluate products and manufacturers against the ANSI/BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard. Designed to provide a comprehensive, objective, and transparent assessment of environmental and social impacts, the LEVEL certification signifies that the product, manufacturing facility, and brand owner have each met established sustainability criteria.
