How “Green” are the PierceMartin products that I am purchasing?
A. PierceMartin has always created fine furnishings using sustainable wicker, rattan, bamboo, raffia, and pandan. We have also been using water-based finishes, as they have become more reliable and available, to reduce or eliminate the VOCs of traditional finishes. Our ALLWEATHER line of furnishings are constructed of aluminum frames, and polyethylene synthetic wicker; both of which may be recycled at their end of use. Take, for instance, our Bamboo Luau Fabric. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world-which is part of the reason that is considered such a Green resource. PierceMartin President and Creative Director Chip Cheatham has created/developed Luau, an upholstery weight fabric made of 100% bamboo fibers. The result is a beautiful, soft and durable textile that is kind to the environment.
