Room & Board for Business is enhancing its Urban Wood Project by introducing reclaimed American elm into the Hensley collection, a well-established line of furniture. Due to the decline of American elm populations from Dutch elm disease, this wood is now primarily reclaimed from urban trees that are removed for safety or infrastructure reasons. The incorporation of reclaimed elm into high-volume collections allows for a sustainable approach to furniture manufacturing and helps divert urban wood from waste streams. The Hensley collection, which features items like armoires and media consoles, emphasizes clean lines and solid wood construction, showcasing the unique characteristics of city-grown elm. Room & Board has partnered with local businesses to create a supply chain for this wood and is also supporting efforts to repopulate disease-resistant elm trees. The program offers various benefits for trade and contract professionals, including discounts and flexible delivery options, while maintaining a commitment to sustainable practices and American craftsmanship.
