Never has there been a time when “Green” was more popular. Everywhere you turn it seems that someone is talking about sustainability and earth friendly products. Way before it was cool to be “Green” Stone 2 Furniture® was building beautiful furniture that compliments the environment it is in and doesn’t harm the earth. At Stone 2 Furniture® everyday is Earth Day!
With spring warmth in the air and Earth Day coming up on April 22, families are taking a closer look at the sustainability quotient of the patio furniture they lug indoors and out twice a year. Because of the harshness of sun, wind, hail, pool chemicals, tanning oils, mold and mildew, nearly half of consumers expect their outdoor furniture to last only seven years or less, according to a 2012 survey by Casual Living magazine. Stone 2 Furniture® has created a surprising solution to the outdoor furniture madness, furniture that won’t fade, rot, disintegrate or blow away in a storm, includes no toxins, requires no maintenance and can last more than a hundred years
According to Dwayne, “We’ve taken something that is already 200 million years old and combined it with the durability of recycled steel or rust-free aluminum frames for furniture that can withstand all the harsh damaging elements Mother Nature can dish out.”
Working with Mother Nature Dwayne has fashioned comfortable, visually striking, one-of-a-kind tables, chairs, benches, bistro sets, chaise loungers and bar sets out of flagstone, marble, and granite.
“This is not mass produced in a factory. Each piece is handcrafted made one at a time, with no harsh chemicals and no impact on the environment during the process.” says Dwayne. “Also it does not take any harsh chemicals to maintain it, just hit it with a hose and it is done. Its worst enemy is birds.”
Stone furniture actually becomes more beautiful with time, unlike other furniture that cracks, peels, fades, etc. Clients are not going to be back in seven years to replace their furniture, they are going to be adding pieces to their collections. Stone furniture integrates easily into landscapes and cityscapes without intruding on the surrounding beauty. Environmentally friendly stone furniture won’t end up in the landfills, instead it can be handed down as an heirloom for the next generation.
For customers concerned about the carbon footprint of transporting stone furniture to their home from Colorado, Jill notes, “Any furniture you buy requires shipping, but ours isn’t coming from overseas. And because stone furniture lasts for generations, it needs to be shipped just once. In addition, no vinyl, plastic or foam rubber goes into stone furniture and it doesn’t need plastic or canvas covers for protection from the elements. We also ship using just a pallet and shrink wrap – no cardboard, bubble wrap or other cushioning materials that need to go to the landfill.”
