Think it's hard to resource locally made furniture? It couldn't be easier. I have the answer for you....I used to think that locally resourced furniture from New England must mean wooden furniture only. With so many hardwood forests in the Northeast, it was easy to believe that wood products could be resourced locally, but upholstered goods? No way.
Thank goodness Circle Furniture has rebuked that notion. At almost sixty years old, a reputation for local craftsman furniture has beckoned customers through the doors of Circle Furniture and kept them coming back for generations. Notorious for its Harvard-student following --causing many a young adult to trek across Massachusetts for its stylish, custom, and lasting products-- this successful business has grown from one location to six. Though I sometimes cringe at growing corporate entities, as it has grown Circle Furniture has maintained its service to the community, environment, and employees. Though the company has expanded from selling furniture made by Massachusetts artisans to those also located throughout the Northeast, it truly adheres to the concepts of supporting a regional economy.
Circle Furniture believes a healthy home starts with a healthy environment. While offering customers products that come from forests managed according to strict environmental, social, and economic standards, the concepts of preservation and conservation are important to it. Circle Furniture offers upholstery with soy-based cushions and frames that are made from responsibly harvested hardwoods certified sustainable. The fill for seat, back, and throw pillows is inserted into a 100% woven cotton ticking. Seat cushions are wrapped and back cushions and throw pillows are filled with post-consumer regenerated fibers, keeping drink bottles out of landfills! Their fabrics can also be ordered without flame-retardant chemicals, great for the chemically-sensitive and environmentally conscious.
Though I love all these details, my one complaint is that a number of the fabrics used by the company are not locally, or even nationally, made. So if you use this company, take the time to choose your fabrics carefully and ask questions. Though it is virtually impossible to locally resource any fabric other than wool in New England, it's still nice to give yourself a pat on the back for using cotton grown just a few states away!I could go on all day about some of my favorite products (Cute lil' Roma slipper chair? Yes please!), but will instead just say that I love to use this company in a variety of ways in my local designs; their products come in a number of styles that appeal to a variety of client tastes. I invite you to check them out for yourself! Explore the Website below for this quietly awesome New England secret that needs to be shouted from rooftops!
