Best Sustainable Furniture Brands

How Comosum vets sustainable furniture brands

Not all "sustainable" furniture brands are equal. Many rely on vague claims — "responsibly made," "eco-conscious," "green" — without third-party verification or material transparency. We score every brand we carry on a six-category Sustainability Meter, shown on each of its product pages: Material (certified, recycled or rapidly renewable content), Transportation (where it is made and how it travels to the US), Manufacturing (ISO 14001, B Corp or published production figures), Labor (B Corp, SA8000, audits and named factories), Energy (production energy or, for lamps, the energy used in your home) and Durability (warranties, spare parts, test standards and long-running designs). Each category scores 1 to 5 from published evidence. A brand is listed only when no category scores 1, its grade is at least 3.0 (18 of 30), and no more than two categories score below 3. As a Be Original Americas member, we also carry only original designs — never replicas.

Best for: sustainable lounge chairs and outdoor seating with verified circular materials.

4. Anglepoise — Certified B Corporation, British lighting since 1935

Anglepoise, headquartered in Hampshire, UK, makes the spring-balanced lamps whose Original 1227 has been in production since 1935, and has been a Certified B Corporation since January 2024.

Best for: sustainable desk and floor lamps built for a lifetime of use.

5. Tala — Certified B Corporation LED lighting, London

Tala is a London lighting brand and Certified B Corporation (since March 2023) that ships carbon-neutral on all inbound freight and packs every product plastic-free. Its founding pledge plants ten trees for every 200 products sold — more than 130,000 trees so far, through quarterly donations to Heart of England Forest, the National Forest Foundation and WeForest. By Tala's account, its LED bulbs use up to 90% less energy than incandescent equivalents, and every fixture takes a standard replaceable bulb. Best for: sustainable LED pendants and table lamps with replaceable E26 bulbs.

6. Heller — Design in Plastic Since 1971, Furniture Made in the USA

Looking for American-made sustainable furniture? Heller is the answer on this list: its chairs are molded in the USA from recyclable polypropylene, and the Bellini Chair is $252 for a pair. Humanscale (below) is the other US-headquartered maker we carry; the European brands on this page are imported, but all ship from US warehouses. Heller is an American design brand that has worked in plastic since 1971 and made furniture since 1998, molding recyclable seating and storage in the USA. Heller's stacking chairs — designed by Mario Bellini — are weather-resistant, UV-stable and return to the polymer cycle at end of life. Best for: sustainable dining chairs and US-made outdoor seating.

7. Greenington — GREENGUARD Gold certified solid bamboo

Greenington produces solid Moso bamboo furniture certified to GREENGUARD Gold, the strictest standard for low chemical emissions (recommended for schools and healthcare). Moso bamboo reaches harvest maturity in 5 years versus 30–100 years for hardwood, and Greenington's bamboo strand board is harder than red oak. Best for: sustainable bedroom furniture and bamboo dining tables.

8. Case Furniture — British design since 2005

Case Furniture is a London design brand, set up in 2005, working with designers such as Matthew Hilton, David Irwin and Robin Day.
