So you ask, "What happens to all that BEAUTIFUL wood from those old homes and buildings when they are torn down...?" Are they thrown away, nope. Do they become kindling, nope. At least not at TheManicOrganic.com! We LOVE to find people who create new uses for things, especially beautiful things! And we did just that...find people, that is. We were thrilled to find Urban Woods, a furniture manufacturer specializing in reclaimed wood!
Urban Woods furniture collection is beyond sustainable furniture with eco-friendly materials and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes. The distinct beauty of reclaimed wood, finished with rich water based, non-toxic stains, is preserved in modern handmade furniture that is made in Los Angeles. No tropical hardwoods which harm the rain forest to harvest, MDF, particle board, or toxic glues are used.Much of the reclaimed wood was originally harvested and milled years ago from sunny Southern California, giving the wood unparalleled stability and resistance to future distortion or structural movement. Using vintage reclaimed wood has many advantages; the grain of the timber with its tight growth rings shows the superior density of the wood from ancient trees, and the natural, aged patina and color of the old-growth timber is preserved in the manufacturing process, giving the furniture a look and feel that cannot be replicated in new wood.
Smooth, hand shaped curves and classic lines define the designs of the Doheny Collection. The sleigh bed is gracefully sculpted by hand and framed with thick, solid wood and detailed with subtle moldings. Whether in a mansion, lodge or loft, this contemporary classic always looks at home! We argree!
