About Green Design Furniture

Innovation. Craftsmanship. Engineering. The greatest challenge for any designer is to produce an idea that breaks new ground in all three categories simultanuously. It is this peak of expression that results in enduring, classic design. Creating new classics for the 21st century is the challenge we now embrace at Green Design Furniture.

Series 2 (S2) is our newest collection of designs, reflecting an exploration of function combined with gently curving lines to create a lighter, more contemporary look.

Green Design Furniture Co. is one of the few remaining artisan furniture manufacturers that produces the work of a contemporary designer. Founded in 1993 by inventor and designer Douglas Green, we are located in Portland, Maine’s historic Old Port district. Building on a tradition that began with the Arts and Crafts movement, our woodworkers combine a reverence for handwork with the progressive use of modern thinking, tools, and technology.

Each solid cherry piece is made with our exclusive, patented system of construction and passionately worked by the hands of our talented craftspeople. Because we take such care, Green Design Furniture produces fewer than 1,000 pieces of furniture each year. Continuing our tradition, the first 100 pieces of a new design are numbered and signed by Douglas Green and the craftsman. Many first-time buyers, impressed by the quality of our designs and our exceptional service, have become devoted collectors.

To those who appreciate the artisan tradition and the value of inspired design, we are proud to present our work.
