Eco-friendly upholstery manufacturer Bkind3 has moved its High Point Furniture Market showroom to spaces 5E and 5J, Commerce & Design Building.

Bkind3, Concord, N.C., will exhibit there with Urbia Imports, which specializes in furniture crafted from reclaimed and re-purposed wood, as well as select plantation-grown resources.
 
Bkind3 founder and upholstery designer Carl Gustafson said the C&D Building is a perfect showcase for his company and Urbia Imports, since the complex attracts retailers and designers seeking original designs and sustainable products for their customers and clients.
 
"With Bkind3's focus on creating eco-friendly upholstery built by North Carolina craftsmen and the wonderful wood products that Urbia Imports produces, our shared showroom is a showcase for embracing a sustainable philosophy," Gustafson said. "The shared showroom also puts a spotlight on designs that fit together in a natural way because of the eco-friendly approach of each of our companies."
 
Bkind3's focus has been to produce well-styled, affordable seating and enable customers to make a conscious choice that is eco-friendly, green and sustainable; and to bring jobs back to North Carolina.
 
Bkind3's frames are PlyFrame harvested in U.S. SFI-certified forests. Seating is made in part with soy-based BiOH polyols that leave a smaller environmental footprint than the petroleum materials they replace. Bkind3 is a member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
