Yes, handcrafted built to order furnishings are generally more sustainable and environmentally friendly than mass production furnishings. These custom-built pieces are usually made from locally-sourced materials, use fewer resources during production, and require less packaging material for shipping.

The local craftspeople who make these pieces also tend to use traditional techniques that result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions than the often energy-intensive production processes used by manufacturers of mass production furniture.
