We source as close to home as possible, starting on Vancouver Island and expanding to the Pacific Northwest with an eye for local distribution. We research and vet all wood suppliers for sustainable forest management and best practices.

Only natural oil and wax finishes are used on Autonomous pieces, comprised of renewable raw materials ensuring it's safe for humans, animals, and plants - and healthier for our craftsmen applying it.

Our sheet goods, such as acrylic and matte black composite material (made of 65% recycled paper!) are optimized to ensure almost zero waste. An extensive recycling and waste program within our shop

At Autonomous, we design and manufacture furniture with the circular economy in mind. Our pieces are made from natural materials and finishes, use minimal adhesives, and are built for easy repair or even transformation into new forms.

Packaging is sourced from large manufacturers - materials that would otherwise be discarded - and reused for local deliveries before being repurposed for shipments to other cities.

Our goal is to create furniture that’s not thrown away, but passed down through generations, built to retain its beauty and integrity over time.
