About Copeland

Copeland Furniture began in the 1970s as a small one-man operation that made wood products, such as cider presses, from natural hardwoods. They evolved and produced kitten furniture and Adirondack-style porch furniture. Their designs now are influenced by Arts & Crafts, Mission, Shaker, and Scandinavian styles.

Thirty-three years later, Copeland is now based out of a innovative manufacturing facility in Bradford, VT. The company is embedded in their local community and combine cutting-edge computer technology with traditional craftsmanship.

Copeland continues to use natural hardwoods in its furniture, and with continued exposure to direct light the colors of the woods will deepen over time. Copeland also uses sustainably harvested hardwoods from the American Northern Forest. Lumber they use comes from a 500-mile radius of the factory. This means far less fossil fuel is consumed and less carbon dioxide is emitted via transportation. Copeland is also Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This means that Copeland’s hardwood suppliers must verify that the wood comes from forests that are not threatened, do not have high conservation significance, and do not contain genetically modified trees. Copeland was also awarded Silver Exemplary Membership Status by the Sustainable Furnishings Council. This certification means that Copeland:

1. uses 15-25% FSC-certified wood
2. uses 1-25% non-wood products made from recycled or bio-based materials
3. has completed a Carbon Footprint Report that includes detailed analysis of its energy usage
4. is showing a positive impact on supply chain improvements as a result of sustainability efforts
