Cisco Brothers — Inside Green™

In the fall of 2003 Rowena Finegan, owner and founder of Eco-terric, approached Cisco Pinedo, owner of Cisco Brothers Corporation, a furniture manufacturer in Los Angeles, California, with the idea of producing a totally clean and healthy line of furniture. After two and a half years of collaboration, Cisco Brothers was excited to share this first step in providing sustainable furniture for people who live responsibly and who are committed to protecting our planet—the Inside Green line. This has been a natural progression for Cisco Brothers, a company that has always been socially responsible, providing employment through apprenticeship programs to underdeveloped communities in South Los Angeles since the early 1990s.

Inspired from the late 18th century philosophy of the arts and craft movement, Cisco Brothers embraces its role in a cultural evolution toward a sustainable future by producing custom, fully upholstered, handmade furniture. Furniture that is not only environmentally friendly, but built to last. Unpretentiously progressive, each piece is organically constructed, naturally upholstered, and designed with the same integrity and sense of comfort that is synonymous with Cisco Brothers.

Reliable, Safe, Natural Interior:

• Responsible Wood Frames: All of our wood frames are made from sustainably grown Alder from well-managed American forests, responsibly protecting old growth and endangered species.
• Reclaimed Wood Legs: Our legs are constructed from reclaimed wood, including venerable Burmese teak, harvested from rescued heirloom homes in Myanmar.
• Non-toxic Fasteners and Finishers: Each piece of wood is fastened with steel screws, and double-doweled with non-toxic, water based glue. A combination of hemp webbing, jute, and hemp burlap finish out the frame.
• Sustainable Comfort: The crucial and most fundamental element for our comfort evolves from the layering of wool fibers with 100% pure natural latex padding. Staying true to our ancestry, our premium quality wool batting comes from regions where the soil is continually turned, pesticides are forbidden, and sheep are still herded with the use of guardian dogs.
• Pure, Petroleum-Free Latex: The foam that both covers the frame and is used for the cushions, is natural latex, harvested from an environmentally friendly renewable resource procured from rainforest trees. This pure rubber tree sap extract is guaranteed to outlive all toxic petroleum based foam products, and is completely biodegradable!
• Finishing Touches: We upholster these multi-layers with organic cotton/hemp canvas, a green, healthy and sensible barrier cloth.
• Fabric: All fabrics presented with the line have been laundered in chemical-free vegetable-based laundry detergent and are either certified organic or have been produced using chemical-free base cloth and vegetable or low impact dyes. See fabric swatches page.

Innumerable Variations:

• Opportunities in style, shape, and size are endless. Either upholstered or slip-covered, you can choose from 100% organic fabrications, natural fibers and linens, to even Yak (wool) blends.
• All sofas, chairs, daybeds, and ottomans range from classic to contemporary, and can be customized in both depth and length. They are available in 8-10 weeks.

Sustainable furniture is the way of the future. Let's protect our planet ... starting with your home.
