Palmieri Furniture has handcrafted library furnishings of enduring quality and superior workmanship for more than 35 years. Palmieri recognizes that, in order to carry this tradition into the future, they must consider the sustainability of the forest products they use. As a forest stewardship council certified manufacturer, Palmieri has expanded their selection of eco-friendly product offerings even further by utilizing a unique, responsibility grown premium hardwood: Lyptus®.
A hybrid of two eucalyptus species, Lyptus® exhibits the density of maple and the appearance of mahogany. But unlike these premium hardwoods, which take decades to reach maturity, Lyptus® can be harvested in just 14 to 16 years. This is because the wood thrives in the warm climate of Brazil, where it is plantation-grown among reintroduced indigenous trees to preserve the natural habitat. For these reasons, Lyptus® wood represents a fully sustainable and renewable resource. It allows our industry to meet the demand without depleting the supply…or sacrificing quality.
The emergence of the Lyptus® product has allowed Palmieri to develop and entirely new wood furniture collection: Vista.
