Sustainable, Modern and Stackable Furniture

Stackable Modern Chair Photo

A need for simple, modern, affordable furniture was the ultimate goal for Cain Collection (chair pictured here) from the designers at STAACH; but they've gone far beyond that, including some useful extra features like being stackable and the ability to be upholstered.

Chair is Simple and Modern, but Sustainable Too!

Even better, the line is the first production piece to truly encompass their concept of "sustainability" in manufacturing and design; the wood comes from sustainable sources in New York and Pennsylvania, and all the fabrication is done in house with only two tools. The chairs are finished with non-toxic wood glue and water-based, low- to no-VOC lacquers, and can be flat packed (requiring a bit of assembly) for shipping. This modern, stackable, sustainable chair by STAACH is available at Branch.

STAACH has Sustainable Stools, Benches, Sofas and More!

In addition to the stackable chair, the Cain Collection includes a stool, benches, bar stool, armchair, lounge chair, settee, sofa, bed and table sets; we got a sneak peek at the sustainable sofa during the series of posts leading up to HauteGREEN earlier this spring. STAACH also features the Adam Collection and Enos Dish Collection, which feature the same easy, modern aesthetic and sustainable considerations, but whose details will have to wait for a different post. STAACH is doing a lot of things right; go to their website to get all the details.
