5 out of 5 starsOutstanding products. Jeff and Adrienne worked to match the wood tones of the existing pieces in the room. Delivery and packaging were amazing. We will certainly buy more Birdloft pieces in the future.

5 out of 5 starsThis bookcase exceeded our expectations. It was so beautiful (and the wood so special) that we couldn’t tuck it away into the office corner it was originally intended for and it now sits proudly in our foyer. Birdloft’s customer service and attention to detail is incomparable. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

5 out of 5 starsWe are so happy with our coffee table! The flutes, curves, lines and color of the cypress are beautiful and give our living room a warm and cozy PNW feel. We're obsessed! Jeff was very responsive, answered all my questions thoroughly and quickly, and the table was delivered ahead of schedule. He was wonderful to work with and I can't wait to purchase our next custom piece.

5 out of 5 starsMy experience with Birdloft was outstanding from start to finish. After months of searching for a quality table that would fit my space, I stumbled across Birdloft. Jeff & Adrienne replied instantly to my inquiry, and were extremely patient with my questions. After I placed my order, they kept me informed throughout the process. The communication was excellent. When the crate arrived (ahead of time line) it was expertly packed, and the final product was of outstanding quality. I can’t say enough how happy I am with this purchase. Thank you for this beautiful piece of furniture.

5 out of 5 starsWe worked with Jeff & Adrienne to make some custom adaptations to their 6 shelf fir bookcase. Working with them was really fantastic. They were genuinely excited to work on our design. Communication on all the details and nuances of the design was excellent. The pricing for the custom changes/addons was super reasonable. The work was done on time and we are in LOVE with it.

5 out of 5 starsCouldn't be happier with this purchase as it fits in our space great. Communication with the seller was easy, and very open and item was well packed when it arrived.
I am absolutely in love with this table and I'm sorry I didn't opt for a bigger one; but this is great. -

delivery day, powered by 100 percent recycled biodiesel
small shop, meticulous craft. calibrated for sanctuary at home
At birdloft, we create sustainable modern designs from wood, steel and air.
The wood is almost exclusively reclaimed old growth fir, salvaged from deconstructed barns and warehouses in Seattle, Tacoma and the Puget Sound environs. The wood is from the same ancient Pacific Northwest forest that provided industrial-scaled building material for the rest of the country from the 1850s to the 1990s. For the most part, the old growth forest is gone (although some awe-inspiring remnants can be found in parks and preserves) and is irreplaceable in today's lumber economy of roughly forty-year cycles, so we have to make as best use we can of what we have. And really, there is nothing like old-growth wood. Nothing comes close to it for its depth of tone and patina, its heft, its grain and warmth.
The sourced steel, for its part, is estimated at 89.5 percent recycled content, about three times the recycled content as much of the steel commercially available in this country.
And the part about the air - every piece of birdloft furniture is meant to breathe, to compose a small amount of space in a given room, help create sanctuary at home.
So our job - in our craft and sullen Pacific Northwest art - is mostly to reveal what's already there, to bring some clarity and breadth to the narrative in the wood - what an architect might term a minimal intervention. It's mostly about not doing too much, working with the wood to create a maximum content palimpsest.
In this work, we're calling on our experience working for studio furniture masters, architects who have seen too much and designers far hipper than us. We're also calling on our own work as architectural designers and builders. Jeff, for his part, is calling on his days at sea, lobstering - tenth generation Mainer - when words were luxuries rarely used, wood was about trapping crustaceans and the snow never landed, just turned the salt water into brushed metal. (Adrienne, will be adding her part here soon!)
Often, we carefully break the rules we were taught and faithfully learned.
And just to say, at birdloft, we do everything we can to work in an environmentally sustainable way. From initial salvage operations (proudly carried out in Yellow Truck, the biodiesel miser at 40mpg) to packing and shipping (reusing heavy duty recycled cardboard and pallet material for crating), to the wind powering our website, the goal is minimum consumption of new material and maximum reuse.
Let us design something for your home landscape. We'll keep it light. Make it beautiful.

Shop policies
Our raw materials are responsibly sourced. All the wood is reclaimed, meaning its salvaged for reuse from old barns and warehouses in Seattle, Tacoma and the greater Puget Sound environs. The sourced steel has the highest recycled content available, estimated at 89.5 percent, which is roughly three times the recycled content as much of the steel available on the commercial market.
The designs of the furniture are adaptable. Nearly each piece that comes out of the shop these days has been custom built to work perfectly in one home. The materials themselves, the wood especially, is unrepeatable. Each slab and board has been shaped, winnowed and deepened by time and the particular elements of place. Each is its own. In your home, in renewed form, time starts again.
Let me know how birdloft can become a part of your home landscape.
Thank you,
Jeff & Adrienne
