Furniture World Magazine

on

Addressing concerns from a growing number of consumers regarding exposure to chemicals from the products they purchase, sustainable furnishings leader Harden announced the launch of its EcoONE™ furniture program, to debut during this month’s Las Vegas Furniture Market. The program offers optional materials free of potentially harmful chemicals.
 
Harden makes sustainable and chemical-free EcoONE™ options available for all components of any Harden upholstery design for the standard upcharge rate.
 
Foam cushions may be selected with either BiOH® soy-based ingredients or natural latex foam. SFI-certified sustainable lumber, used for framing material, meets upcoming CARB requirements and features ultra low-emitting formaldehyde. Other construction details include natural jute twine for 10-way hand-tied springs, organically grown and processed cotton batting and ticking, burlap woven from organic fibers, and pileated organic wool. Seat springs are made from recycled steel.
 
Since 2007, Harden has been committed to a wide selection of upholstery fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, hemp and materials made from post-consumer recycled fibers. Environmentally responsible leather, processed without chromium and reduced water consumption, is also available.
 
Additionally, Harden’s custom capabilities allow consumers to supply their own upholstery cover materials.
 
For EcoONE™ case goods, the heirloom-quality producer utilizes water-based finishing materials on any exposed wood which requires a finish. Harden is recognized for its diverse range of finish and color options.
 
Harden has a long history of environmental stewardship and is a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council. In 2007, Harden was the first company to be awarded Silver Exemplary status by the organization. CEO Greg Harden has made it his company’s mission to strive for constant improvement in the environmental impact of its products and manufacturing processes.
 
Harden Furniture EcoONE™ options will be on display September 14-17 in the company’s Living Green Pavilion booth B-200e, located in World Market Center building B.
