Sustainability
Nature is our greatest inspiration, and we want to inspire people to live a more mindful and sustainable lifestyle.To us, this means buying less, buying better, and keeping things in use for longer. Designing durable, long-lasting products and using ethically sourced and certified materials are two ways we minimize our environmental impact as much as possible.
Our Sustainability Certifications & Initiatives
Good for you, your kids, and the planet
Designed for form, function, longevity
Before creating something new, we always ask, “Does the world need this?” We prioritize creating beautiful, heirloom-quality pieces that serve multiple purposes. Designed by a Montessori mom and AD Top 100 Designer.
Ethically sourced materials
We use wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC©), a global organization that ensures lumber is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
GOTS, the Global Organic Textile Standard, is a leading certification that ensures both environmental and social criteria are met throughout the entire supply chain.
Investing in the future
We save, repair, and re-test every single returned item. Refurbished items are sold secondhand through Good Buy Gear. This means fewer materials go to waste and more children can enjoy our products.
A portion of our proceeds goes to One Tree Planted, an environmental non-profit tree-planting charity.
Production & Manufacturing
We produce in small batches, only producing to meet demand. As a result, we sometimes offer pre-orders, especially with brand new designs, to better inform our order quantities and avoid overproduction.
We collaborate with skilled and certified factories that adhere to high ethical standards, as verified by BSCI, SEDEX, and GS.
Shipping
We use sea shipments, which create less carbon emissions than other methods. Plus, we offset every domestic U.S. order through carbon removal companies vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct, such as Heirloom, Remora, and Charm.
Packaging
Our packaging is sourced from FSC©-certified cardboard materials. We use the least amount of plastic possible, and we removed all styrofoam from packaging in 2023. Our products are also flat-packed to take up less space when shipping, meaning they require some assembly at home.
Break down the cardboard boxes and place them curbside alongside other paper-based recyclables.
