Urban Natural in the Press: A Few of our Favorite Recent Highlights
Our Urban Natural team is a small but mighty one, and we’re always working hard to bring you the very best in expertly handcrafted, sustainable, organic, responsibly sourced, and USA-made furniture. While we partner with some of the most trusted names in furniture design and home decor, we don’t just choose these workshops for their outstanding craftsmanship and heirloom-quality pieces, but also for the eco-friendly practices and values they prioritize. That’s why it means so much to hear when our products are beloved by a new or loyal customer, that our work has been acknowledged on a top design list, or that a magazine wants to feature a collection or workshop partner we offer. In that same spirit of appreciation, we’d like to share a few of the most recent outlets that have recognized Urban Natural, and to thank them for highlighting this work we love:
Apartment Therapy calls us their new favorite furniture store.
Thank you to Apartment Therapy for counting on us for carefully curated, modern heirloom furniture that showcases artisan craftsmanship, and ethically responsible sourcing. They call out our specialty in partnering with leading sustainably-minded workshops like Ethnicraft, GRAYN, and American Leather, and specifically loved the Join Tall Dresser from GRAYN for its soft details, rounded edges, and high contrast finishes.
“Every piece Urban Natural carries is truly beautiful to behold (and) heirloom-quality. Couches, dressers, bed frames, dining tables, throw pillows, rugs, lighting — Urban Natural has it all.”
Wirecutter ranks us #1 for stylish and comfortable sleeper sofas.
We’ve always believed that a sleeper sofa doesn’t have to be an unattractive eyesore, or uncomfortable night’s rest; now Wirecutter shares that same sentiment! Proud to be their #1 pick for stylish and comfortable sleeper sofas with the Gaines Comfort Sleeper from American Leather, we love the versatility a sleeper sofa or sectional can add to any guest room, office, or living room space. The entire American Leather comfort sleeper line boasts their patented Tiffany 24/7 Sleep System technology for easy, non-clunky transitioning, in addition to several customizable options for leg style, bed size, fabric, cushion style, and your choice of three premium mattresses. Wirecutter had their own favorite, but with 13 different sofa and sectional styles to discover, you’re sure to find the perfect American Leather comfort sleeper for you.
“An ultra comfortable sleeper sofa that will last… This line is unparalleled in its category.”
Elle Decor loves our exclusive Join Bed with bouclé headboard.
In their “9 Bouclé Bedframes To Make Your Room A Sanctuary” feature, Elle Decor highlights the Join Bed with bouclé headboard cushion from GRAYN with the refined simplicity of its handcrafted wood frame, and the cozy touch of a bouclé headboard option. The award-winning Join Bed is not only exclusive to Urban Natural, but also completes an entire Join Bedroom Collection so you can add complementing case pieces too for a sustainable and more luxurious bedroom feel.
“If you love a wood bed frame but are missing that warm upholstered touch, this frame may be the perfect compromise.”
The Strategist features us for American-made furniture.
Supporting American-made craftsmanship is one of the key pillars of our business, so we were thrilled when The Strategist featured our workshop partner Copeland for their solid wood pieces that are sustainably made in Vermont with locally-sourced wood from responsibly managed forests. They also specifically touted the Lisse Buffet as a piece children “will be very pleased to inherit someday,” and called its design one that will “last for decades, not years.”
“The high level of craftsmanship is apparent when you see it and feel it in person.”
Veranda includes us for a top-trending interior design style.
Providing versatile furniture and home decor offerings is important to us; we want our customers to know they can trust us for heirloom quality pieces and collections that are expertly crafted and sustainably-minded, but that we also carry a variety of interior design styles to suit many different tastes and preferences too. Veranda’s feature on the farmcore interior design trend was a great reminder that we’re still doing both! They called out our Madeline Chair from Rowe with its vintage-inspired design and velvet upholstery that so effortlessly aligns with this rustic, but elevated design trend. Available for quick ship when you opt for the antiqued moss velvet, the Madeleine also happens to be one of the 8 accent chairs our designers are loving for fall!
“There is a warmth and a coziness to farmcore interiors that is so often missing in day-to-day modern life."
House Beautiful names us a top outdoor furniture brand.
Not only did House Beautiful list us as one of their top luxury outdoor furniture brands, but they also highlighted three of our sustainable outdoor pieces made from eco-friendly and recycled materials! The Circle Outdoor Dining Table from HOUE showcases a bamboo tabletop with granite stone in the center for hot pot dinners, and the Molo Outdoor Sunbed has softly rounded bamboo lamellas and optional Sunbrella cushion to make outdoor lounging both stylish and more comfortable. The Nisswa Sofa from Loll Designs is made from upcycled plastic, and offers just one innovative example of how this leading workshop partner helps reduce the amount of plastic waste for our planet.
“If you're looking to prioritize sustainability, give Urban Natural a try. Their furniture is made in the U.S. with eco-friendly materials, including organic cotton and Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood. There’s no compromise on style either.”
While we’re always grateful for the generous press we’ve received over the years, some of our greatest accolades have been the personal joy and satisfaction our customers express when they shop for furniture and home decor with us. Just like the pieces we offer that are built to stand the test of time, we hope to continue our tradition of small business care and attention for decades to come too.
