As the establishing frontrunner of Westside Atlanta’s emerging design district, Minneapolis-based furniture retailer Room & Board broke ground in May 2009 as the anchoring cornerstone tenant of the mixed-use White Provision development. Nationally acclaimed with a local point of view, Room & Board’s 11 U.S. stores actively support the protection of natural resources, from selecting wood harvested exclusively from well-managed local and regional forests to partnering with small, family-owned businesses sharing a passion for the tradition of American furniture-making.

Dedicated to harmonizing social, economic and environmental responsibility while crafting heirloom quality home furnishings and designs since its inception in 1980, this progressive flagship business believes that actions both large and small make a big difference. Chalk them up as innovative, relevant and hyper-creative, as their game-changing qualities make them different and influential in an economy needing a sustainable, stylish solution to every-day living. Here is a glimpse into Room & Board’s daily sustainable efforts:

Sustainable footprint

Continuing to set the standard for environmental excellence as a furnishings industry leader, Room & Board holds their reputation by actively respecting sustainable wood lumbering of U.S. hardwoods with local partners, a building material that has been proclaimed to make excellent and superior products by the Hardwood Council for more than a decade.

Partners

Room & Board partners with local artisans as their vendors, sought out for their time-honored techniques, innovative technology and passion for the tradition of American furniture-making. Room & Board’s Arden rug collection from local rug company Delos in Calhoun, Ga. is an ideal example of their local emphasis and support.

Eco-inspired designs

Timeless, well-crafted furniture and designs are at the core of Room & Board, cultivating products that are indispensable, classic and everlasting. Loll Designs, a modern outdoor furniture company offering durable, all-weather, outdoor furniture, manufactures two exclusive collections for Room & Board. All Loll outdoor furniture is made from 100% recycled HDPE, a plastic resin used in products and packaging such as milk jugs.
