furniture from the urban forest
All our furniture was headed to the dump.
The urban tree canopy is a vast and overlooked resource.
Each year millions of these grand, historic trees come down across the country due to weather, development, and disease.
City Bench works with cities, towns, arborists, institutions, homeowners, interior designers, tree wardens, architects, schools and many others to intercept this valuable resource and transform it into uniquely handcrafted furniture, embedded with a story for generations.
Join us on our adventure in the wilds of the urban forest.
