Our Story
Our mission is to transform your home with timeless and sustainable
rattan furniture that enables reforestation, atmospheric carbon reduction and the elimination of waste from fast furniture
Flip the switch
When we moved into our home, I wanted to design a beautiful space that brought me joy to live in. But there was a problem. I couldn’t afford expensive designer-label furniture, and I didn’t want to buy cheap fast-furniture I knew we’d be replacing in a few years. Unlike designer furniture, there’s really no after-market for flat packs and chipboard furniture, so the vast majority just ends up rotting in landfill

"One way or another, that meant more trees would be cut down to furnish my home"
In the natural world, trees are probably the best resource for capturing and locking up carbon from the atmosphere. Harvesting them to make tables, even from managed forests, seems at odds with the global necessity to battle climate change.
But what if we could rethink the way furniture is made? Big items like beds, tables and wardrobes can lock up a lot of carbon. Was it possible to turn furniture into an engine room for climate repair?
What are be doing about it?
We're flipping the switch on furniture production. Instead of less trees and more carbon, we want to build a model that leaves behind more trees and less carbon.

Rattan is made from the fast-growing rattan vine, so you’ll know no trees are cut in the production of your furniture
We've Partnered With Ecologi
Our Big Goal:
By 2026 the production of Beach & Wood rattan furniture and furnishings will have enabled the planting of 10,000 trees across endangered rainforest
Every item you order plants a tree. The bigger the item, the more trees we plant!
