Furna

About

Furna specializes in bringing furniture back to life. We restore vintage and antique furniture through careful sanding, painting, and detailed care. Furna upcycles by converting old or discarded furniture and materials into something useful and often beautiful. We are proud to offer refurbished and upcycled furniture and home decor as a way to reduce global waste.

Our History

Repurposing and upcycling materials is a passion for Rochelle Robinson. She considers herself a Do It Yourself (DIY) Diva that loves taking old materials and making creative new items. She started making items and giving them, with love, to family and friends who urged her to start selling the items to the public.

Upcycle vs Recycle

Recycling takes used materials — mostly plastic, paper, metal and glass — and breaks them down so their base materials can be remade into a new consumer product, often of lesser quality. Upcycling saves the energy and cost of recycling by finding new uses for items.

This isn't a new phenomenom. You may remember your mom using old tubs of butter for food storage. Perhaps you remember the coffe cans in the kitchen used to contain old cooking grease. Whatever your memory, upcycling helps keep material from the landfill and inevitably makes a positive impace on the environment.
