For over 30 years Hearthwoods has been creating extraordinary rustic and urban industrial furniture, along with architectural accents and outdoor structures. Since our beginning we have focused on using reclaimed and re-purposed wood, revealing its natural beauty while adding design and purpose. Each piece is made by skilled craftsman in our Michigan workshop, with quality always in the forefront
and an expectation that each piece will be passed along from one generation to the next. Our command of different styles allows us to build for the city home, the cottage, the cabin, and the home in the burbs. "GREEN" MATERIALS
We have always used reclaimed and re-purposed wood from barns, old buildings and discarded trees. We use a variety of hard woods, including walnut, oak, hickory, maple, and southern yellow heart pine. All of our wood is kiln dried. HISTORY
In 1987, Andrew Brown left his corporate advertising job in New York City. Coming home to the woods of Michigan, he began Hearthwoods Rustic Furnishings. His first driftwood creations were the result of his desire to create furniture using reclaimed wood and discarded materials. Soon builders and developers were calling him to take wood from land cleared for development. He began to take down barns and collect wood from old industrial buildings such as the Studebaker Factory in South Bend. It was while he was working in these old factories that he began collecting vintage industrial machine bases, something for which he had always had an affinity. The mix of the industrial bases with antique reclaimed wood tops made for a stylish eco-friendly creation- a look that 30 years later is just now peeking in popularity. Over the years, Andrew’s furniture designs have evolved into an aesthetic that he calls "Urban Industrial." These custom designs are executed by Hearthwoods’ highly talented craftsmen in our Michigan based workshop. His work has been recognized by numerous national publications such as Architectural Digest, Country Living, and Mountain Living Magazine. OUR MISSION
Hearthwoods' focus is on quality, beautiful styling and the use of reclaimed/re-purposed materials. Our goal is to create timeless designs that will be cherished by generations to come.
