Abandoned buildings often carry stories of transition and change. Whether due to business relocations, community struggles, or natural disasters, these structures bear the marks of time through exposure to the elements. Over years and decades, they become silent witnesses to the passage of time, unnoticed by those who pass by daily.

Reclaiming with Care

Enter Furniture Source International (FSI). With meticulous care, we salvage wood from abandoned buildings, cherishing the layers of paint, weathering, and traces of the past. Clearing the properties with purpose, we aim to revitalize the land for new community roles. Treating the wood with utmost care, we ensure it is free from harmful chemicals through a baking process. With reverence, we present this reclaimed wood to skilled artisans who imbue each piece with their unique craftsmanship.

Crafting with Detail

From the rustic remnants of forgotten structures, we craft polished and refined furniture, distinguished by intricate details and finishes uncommon in the market. Every aspect of our design is carefully considered, balancing aesthetics with functionality. Notches and joints replace quick assembly, while solid wood supplants laminate coverings. We seek out the natural marks and imperfections left by time, guiding the placement of each board. Hand-crafted hardware adorns doors and drawers, ensuring attention to detail both inside and out.

Seeking Inspiration

Inspiration knows no bounds. Armed with magazine clippings or sketches, we draw inspiration from old buildings in Mexico, envisioning new possibilities. Antiquing trips or casual outings often spark fresh design concepts. We meticulously adapt existing designs, infusing them with our unique perspective to breathe new life into familiar forms.

Diverse Offerings

Wood furniture is just one facet of our creations. Partnering with Italian artisans, we craft leather furniture from single hides, honoring centuries-old traditions. Our commitment to customization extends to fabric or leather upholstery, tailored to our clients’ preferences. By sourcing materials from various wood types and locations, we enrich our design palette beyond reclaimed wood from buildings.

Conclusion

At FSI, our furniture not only tells stories of raw materials and craftsmanship but also embodies the narratives of our clients’ lives. With a blend of tradition and innovation, we strive to create pieces that transcend generations, treasured for their timeless appeal and individuality.
