Origin Story

It started with a desire to create beautiful bespoke furniture in a sustainable way. We spent a great deal of time and research looking for an ethical supplier for reclaimed material. We felt strongly about holding our supplier’s practices to the same standard of sustainability as the product they were selling. We wanted lumber that was minimally traveled and to be sure of no worker exploitation.

We never found said supplier.

If we wanted ultra sustainable wood, we were going to have to produce it ourselves. And that's just what we did. A handful of years, several sawmills and many tables later, we are RE-CO BKLYN.

Present Day

What distinguishes us from your run-of-the-mill furniture shop is a commitment to the materials we use and the craftsmanship that goes into the finished product. It starts with the origin of our unique lumber and ends with something one-of-a-kind. Your heirloom furniture should be unique, your interior should stand out.

We are idea people and our design build process is highly collaborative - it’s your space and you should have a say in it. Our process starts by matching you to slabs that fit your needs, talking you through options, and presenting innovative solutions tailor fit to your space and aesthetic.

Our work is treasured in homes, hotels, restaurants, salons and more. Check out our Slab Furniture and Custom Work for more info.

Lumber Production

We produce flat sawn live edge slabs because we believe this type of material is able to tell a story. By keeping the edge of the wood in its natural shape, we are humbly reminded of its origin.

We built our own kiln out of a decommissioned 40' reclaimed shipping container. It is computer controlled, electrically heated and dehumidified. The computer works off sensors to provide precise temperature and humidity readings, producing the highest quality, furniture grade material at 6-8% moisture content.
