Grayn is a newly launched sustainable furniture brand headed by Joel Edmondson. The goal of the brand was to create a new narrative around furniture consumption and bring a stronger focus on circular design without compromising the quality.
The brand creates beautiful and intentional designs that are worth the overall investment due to longevity and ethical practices from the manufacturing process to the end product. It launches its inaugural collection and every piece of furniture is done in a workshop based in Bradford, Vermont. The materials are locally soured within 500 miles of the space. From this practice, the carbon emissions are kept low as less energy is invested to transport the raw materials to the workshop.
