Our furniture began with a thought, and a vision. Our furniture began with a thought, and a vision. Deborah
Norwood, founder and designer, retired from her lifelong career as an educator. Although, she loved working
with high school teens, she knew her true love was design. Exposure to the world of design from her
childhood years, she inherently learned and developed her potential... to create. Her true avocation was
interior design. One sunny day in southern California, Deborah began to draw sketches of furniture. She
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 a manufacturer to make her furniture, with the hope of bringing her own designs to homes
across America.
Her search led her to many countries over a period of two years, but she finally found a wonderful man near
Bali who listened to every detail and followed her specifications. She began to see her efforts unfold, and in
2005 she received her first container of furniture!
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 up the sectional chairs 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 and armless chairs. With a combination of all armless chairs one
could create a totally new and contemporary look. One corner chair and 2 armless chairs could be made into
a chaise lounge. Versatility was paramount.
Today Ms. Norwood's furniture is in hotel lobbies, guest suites, in adorable condominiums, and beautiful
homes and estates across America. Her furniture can be found in “Coastal Living” magazine, premiered May
12, 2010 on a new TV series called “Tacky House”, on Style Network. Famous designer, Thom Felicia, found
her furniture on-line and was so impressed that he asked if he could use her 5-Piece Sectional on his new
program. Taking a space from tacky to tasteful is the theme of his show.
ABOUT OUR FURNITURE:
This incredibly beautiful seagrass furniture is made to last. The base is made of kiln-dried hardwood, and
solid mahogany. Wooden furniture, after leaving the tropics, will crack or break without the "kiln-drying"
process. All of Deborah's furniture is kiln dried. The wooden frame is wrapped and hand woven with a chunky
knit-weave of water hyacinth reeds. To ensure protection and durability of the seagrass, Deborah found
that the best protection was the application of 2 coats of clear lacquer to the finish to the seagrass and
wood. The decks of the chairs have 2” woven rubber straps to ensure a soft and comfortable feel.
Cleaning the furniture is easy as well. With a soft, damp cloth the water hyacinth seagrass can be wiped
down. The slipcovers are zippered and can be removed for laundering in a cold water, delicate cycle, air
dried, and then reapplied to the cushions.
The eco~friendly treated fabric used is made of upholstery grade 100% cotton twill. Five inch deep and
comfortable seat cushions are built with a revolutionary new type of foam, and domed on the top. Each
sectional chair comes with 2 (20") scatter back pillows. Everything from top to bottom displays high-end
boutique quality furniture.
Many of Deborah's customers have been happy with their furniture because it is healthy, natural, and
beautiful. Testimonials are received regularly, expressing how the furniture exceeds one's expectations.
Our customers can feel a sense of pride, when they can tell their family and friends they have purchased with
our mother earth in mind. Certified as 90% Organic by the manufacturer, this natural fiber has been claimed
by some to actually energize the body.
Deborah hopes you will enjoy her furniture. She is thankful and feels truly blessed that she can bring the
look and feel of stated casual elegance to many homes and offices throughout the United States and Canada.
