I love the concept behind the Made of New York furniture collection. The line is constructed entirely out of discarded lumber found in the Manhattan area. To make each piece even more eco-friendly, the designers use as few machines as possible.
Founded by John-Michael Ekeblad, Jonathan Locke and Brian Kane, Made of New York furniture maintains its naturally-worn exterior for character and charm.
