Chadhaus is the design and fabrication workshop of Chad Robertson. We pulled together a couple of his dining room pieces to show you here. Above is a sideboard from the Farmhouse Modern series. We love the ultra-crisp look of wood and steel in this collection, which is made to order. See Chadhaus' other collection after the jump...
This table and benches are from Chadhaus' Vollen series. This collection was inspired by a single family heirloom and includes a dining table and selection of bench-style seating. The table is priced at $1750, benches at $450 to $700.
What we love about both series is that they're crafted out of solid wood. In an age of MDF, laminates, veneers, and IKEA pine, here's a fine collection in your choice of solid hardwoods: Oregon walnut, big leaf maple, or Washington sycamore. Chadhaus Furniture, available through Piano Nobile, is truly modern, truly heirloom-quality solid wood furniture.

Sideboard, drool! But is this wood FSC??

I love the sideboard - stunning. I, too, though, would like to know if the wood is FSC.
Years ago, I wouldn't think twice about where wood for building furniture came from - but nowadays I try my best (not saying I'm always successful) to give my dollars only to progressive, eco-conscious companies.

Good question, LoriSF. It's still not 100% clear to me from the Chadhaus website:
Chadhaus uses locally milled steel and hardwoods, as well as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified plywood with formaldahyde-free adhesives. Woodwork features non-toxic finishes derived from natural materials, like beeswax.

Thanks regina..this is some seriously beautiful work. I will put this on my list next time I am in Seattle and hopes to buy a piece in the near future. I will show this to some of my A and D clients who only specify "green" products.
