Modern furniture design by Chicago-based Ali Sandifer Studio (which began in Michigan in 2003) fulfills the production and design values most important to a lot of us: These modern midwest pieces use domestic woods harvested from sustainable forests, and are finished with natural oils and water-based sealants. The results are rich in natural texture and shapes, with usability and storage ideas of equally high importance as their sustainability:
