Our Story
Our furniture began with a thought,and a vision. Deborah Norwood,designer, found herself
unable to teach high school students any longer. She fractured her back and was forced
to retire from teaching. Knowing she had a lot left in life to give, she sat down one day
and began to draw sketches of furniture. She had a design in mind, knew she wanted
furniture that was made from natural products, "green" , sustainable, healthy, yet, durable and
affordable. Taking into consideration depth, height, width, and slant, she finished her drawings and
was ready to find the right people to make her furniture, and bring her own designs to homes across
America.
Her search took her to many countries over a period of two years, but she finally
found a wonderful manufacturer who listened to her every detail and specification. She finally began
to see her efforts unfold.
Deborah wanted her furniture to be functional and to fit into both small and large spaces.
She wanted it to be interchangeable, so that her customers could rearrange the pieces,
split the sectional units around in a room. With this in mind, she knew her customers could
then create a love seat with 2 corner chairs, or a large sectional with a combination of corner
chairs and armless center chairs. With the armless chairs one can create a totally new and
contemporary look. One corner chair and 2 armless chairs can be made into a chaise lounge.
Versatility was paramount.
This incredibly beautiful seagrass furniture is made to last. The base is made of kiln-dried
mahogany. Once wooden furniture leaves the tropics it will crack and break without the "kiln-drying"
process. The wooden frame is wrapped with a chunky knit-weave of water hyacinth leaves. To ensure
protection and durability of the leaves Ms. Norwood found that the best protection was to have 2
coats of semi-gloss lacquer finish applied. The deck of the chairs has woven straps to ensure a soft
and comfortable cushioned feel! Cleaning the furniture is easy as well. With a soft, damp cloth the
water hyacinth seagrass can be wiped down. The slip covers are zippered and can be removed for
cold water delicate cycle, air dried, and reapplied to the cushions. The fabric is made of 100% cotton
twill with stain and water resistant treatment, and is of an excellent quality. Five inch very
comfortable seat cushions are built in layers and domed on the top. Everything from the top to bottom
was designed with quality in mind.
Many of Ms. Norwood's customers have been happy with their furniture because it is so healthy,
natural, and beautiful, and they can feel proud they have purchased with our mother earth in mind. It
is certified as 90% Organic by the manufacturer. Complimentary scatter pillows come with each chair.

Deborah hopes you will find this creates the look of the ultimate beach lifestyle for all to
enjoy. She is thankful and feels truly blessed that she can bring the look and feel of the
ultimate beach lifestyle to many homes and offices throughout the United States.
