Innovation. Craftsmanship. Engineering. The greatest
challenge for any designer is to produce an idea that breaks new
ground in all three categories simultanuously. It is this peak of
expression that results in enduring, classic design. Creating new
classics for the 21st century is the challenge we now embrace at
Green Design Furniture.
Series 2 (S2) is our newest collection of designs,
reflecting an exploration of function combined with gently curving
lines to create a lighter, more contemporary look.
Green Design Furniture Co. is one of the few remaining
artisan furniture manufacturers that produces the work of a contemporary
designer. Founded in 1993 by inventor and designer Douglas Green,
we are located in Portland, Maines historic Old Port district.
Building on a tradition that began with the Arts and Crafts movement,
our woodworkers combine a reverence for handwork with the progressive
use of modern thinking, tools, and technology.
Each solid cherry piece is made with our exclusive,
patented system of construction
and passionately worked by the hands of our talented craftspeople.
Because we take such care, Green Design Furniture produces fewer
than 1,000 pieces of furniture each year. Continuing our tradition,
the first 100 pieces of a new design are numbered and signed by
Douglas Green and the craftsman.
Many first-time buyers, impressed by the quality of our designs
and our exceptional service, have become devoted collectors.
To those who appreciate the artisan tradition and
the value of inspired design, we are proud to present our
work.
