SUSTAINABLY SOURCED

  • 60% of our wood is sustainably sourced

This means the wood is ethically sourced in compliance with either the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) or with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Both have been established to prevent illegal logging and to promote sustainable forestry practices.

This means the origin of the of each piece of timber is verified and traceable. Every product on the website with the leaf logo is sustainably sourced.

Porter Designs also collaborated with Earthworm to plant 10,000 trees in Haryana, India with the goal of adding increasing tree cover and restoring biodiversity to farms.

HANDMADE BY ARTISANS

Our furniture made in India is handcrafted by artisans. This tradition of craftsmanship is rooted in centuries-old techniques and cultural heritage. Indian artisans create intricate and unique pieces using locally sourced materials and tools, often passed down through generations. Each item reflects the artisan's skill, creativity, and connection to their cultural identity. We believe in supporting this tradition of craftsmanship, which is reflected in the heritage quality construction of our furniture.

COMMITMENT TO SAFETY

We take our responsibility to provide safe products seriously. Our furniture is thoroughly and cautiously tested before, during, and after production. This ensures our designs and materials continually meet and exceed safety standards.
