Our mission …

We founded Living Home Furniture with three main objectives:
• To provide our customers with healthy alternatives to traditionally manufactured furniture by offering handcrafted, non-toxic pieces and materials.
• To positively impact the communities, local and global, our work involves.
• To model earth-sustainable standards in our production processes, contributing to eco-conscious solutions for a clean environment.

… transforming environments through sustainable design

Our broader mission requires us to focus on each individual customer to provide our best design, service and finished furniture piece. Read what some of our customers had to say about our work.

We believe global change is initiated on the individual level. Transforming environments—of interior living spaces as well as natural ecosystems—begins with sustainable design. These tenets, combined with artistry and elegance in design, lend a unique style and integrity to our offerings.

Through ongoing research and work with a wide range of clients, we constantly seek to improve upon earth-friendly and people-friendly solutions in our design, fabrication and reclamation services. Natural, organic and non-toxic materials complete the elements of each piece of handcrafted furniture in our Living Home Furniture line. We delight in finding new life for old worn out pieces as well. We work with individual clients and with architecture or engineering teams to create to specifications or to re-style the shape and essence of reclaimed items.

We take care to work closely with customers who have greater chemical sensitivity, offering products that are healthy and safe, ensuring comfort and relief. We believe healthy homes are an important part of a healthy world.

Carla Pyle, Owner

Carla Pyle’s creative life began with the textile arts in 1980 and grew to encompass upholstered furniture design in 2007. Inspired by nature in her art as well as in her life interests, she brings a distinctive artistic perspective to design for the home environment. She has worked many years alongside her husband, Chandler Pyle, remodeling historic log cabins and homes which incorporated unique custom-built elements. Much of this custom work began in the surrounding forests, where dead or fallen trees were selected, cut and milled into lumber. Although the fir forests of their youth are a long way from the hardwood forest sources they are currently using in their furniture construction, the two of them have developed a deep appreciation for the role of timber as a sustainable resource which carries into their work today. The marriage of wood and fiber was a natural fit for Carla as she began work with Chandler in 2007 to develop a line of fine modern furniture. From the outset, her focus has been on health-conscious and eco-friendly materials and processes. Her degree in biology lends a scientific foundation from which to explore the vital issues of health and sustainability.
