We’ve all gotten pretty tuned into the world of eco-friendly products, clothing, cleaning supplies, etc….but how about eco-friendly furniture? The big pieces are just as important to think about, if not more so! Shimna has created a line of eco-conscious furniture that is modern, unique and environmentally friendly. Most of the wood used for the designs is locally sourced from a family owned lumberyard in Pennsylvania, that sustainable harvesting methods- and every piece us made to order and built by hand. Handmade furniture?! Individually crafted for you, makes the piece personal and unique.
The New York City based store has hand-carved pieces, modern influence and clever designs and uses various types of wood; cherry, oak, walnut, etc. Not only are all the pieces created individually, but they offer custom designs as well, working with architects, designers and such to create one of a kind pieces that fit your vision. The custom pieces are both cost-effective and timely, generally getting to the customers within 6-8 weeks. Going green is the way to go!

Shima’s furniture is amazing – got to experience the collection at the ICFF last year. The wood they use are stunning (they had huge slabs on site) and they pretty much let the beauty of the wood stand on its own. Love the Liffey bed – perfect example of blending beauty with functionality.
Here’s our review:
