ABOUT
Based in Los Angeles, Seed furniture is the work of award-winning designer and craftsman Reeve Schley. We specialize in handcrafted, customizable pieces crafted from fully green, VOC-free materials and offered in a variety of styles to suit any space.
Our mission is to create furniture that helps you:
1) EXPRESS a personal aesthetic
2) SOLVE logistical problems
3) ORGANIZE your space
4) CRAFT rooms and surroundings that SOOTHE and INSPIRE
Striking aesthetics are always a priority—but never at the cost of practicality. Our designs blend Mid-Century Modern style with rustic woods and advanced functionality. This thoughtful approach has earned recognition from museums and the press, with our work featured in outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and Apartment Therapy to Architectural Digest and many more.
Located just minutes from downtown Los Angeles, Seed’s innovative spirit, modern sensibility, and fast-paced growth perfectly reflect the energy and creativity of the neighborhood. Like downtown LA itself, Seed blends timeless design influences with the practical needs of today and tomorrow, balancing classic roots with fresh, forward-thinking ideas.
CONCEPT
Founded in 2011, SEED is a furniture manufacturing and design firm operating out of Los Angeles.
We are dedicated to making modern, elegant, and eclectic furniture that is purposeful and wholly green. With these goals in mind, every SEED product is:
Sustainable - We source our material from a lumberyard that uses stockpiled trees collected by a tree maintenance company, giving new life to wood that would otherwise go to waste. It’s a sustainable approach that reduces the need for fresh logging while preserving the character of each tree. SEED offers eco-friendly finishes and plywoods with zero VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). In furniture finishes, VOCs are organic chemicals that create a gas that is both an irritant and indoor pollutant. All finishes are tested and material data sheets can be provided. Our manufacturing is done strictly in-house right here in LA.
Functional - Our striking designs never compromise on functionality. In fact, we’re dedicated to practical solutions that reduce clutter and boost convenience. Take our new media portal—a clever, simple way to tame the tangle of wires hidden in your living space. Charge your iPhone while keeping plenty of room for lamps, computers, and iPads. Use the hidden drawer to safely store chargers and valuables out of sight. Blending classic design with modern needs, Seed combines Mid-Century Modern style, rustic woods, and cutting-edge features like our patent-pending Power Portals—electronic outlets and USB hubs—and modular components.
Customizable - Most of our designs are available in a range of colors, sizes and finishes, allowing you to create a piece that feels truly personal—one that fits your home, your style and your life. Modular features, like removable or interchangeable tops, make it easy to adapt and reuse pieces as your space evolves.
