New York Heartwoods (NYH) operates at the nexus of forest management and wood product fabrication. We design systems to create high-quality, circular building materials and furniture in collaboration with Trees felled due to storms, development, or sustainable management practices, or with wood salvaged from sites.

Leveraging our vetted network of sawyers, wood drying facilities, and skilled fabricators, NYH customizes and manages the logistics and processes to produce the products our clients need. Our comprehensive background in design, fabrication, construction, timber harvesting, milling, and drying equips us with the expertise to maximize the value of forest resources, meet your design goals, save you time, and minimize your ecological footprint.

 

 

NYH supports residential and commercial projects by sourcing and overseeing the fabrication of sustainable wood elements. Through our network of vetted mills, green suppliers, and thoughtful fabricators, we provide storied carbon-conscious solutions that help to conserve forests and foster biophilic experiences.

 

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

"Through NYH’s work guiding us through thinking in board feet, innovating with us to determine material thickness and species type, we are better, more informed designers. Their work yields heritage-caliber timber furniture that are truly works of art. We have Megan consult on many of our large and small scale projects - from regenerative agriculture to rural hospitality - and owners and developers always come away with a new way of thinking that supports a truly contextual, comprehensive way of working."
- Loren Daye, Studio Love Is Enough
 

 

Collaborating with artists and creative visionaries, we help bring their ideas to life. Whether custom milling unique dimensions and shapes, or sourcing ecologically responsible forest materials, we help realize one-of-a-kind objects and environments that align with both artistic intent and environmental values.

Our work has been showcased in The Whitney Museum, Dia Chelsea, Socrates Sculpture park, Storm King Art Center, and Frieze Los Angeles.

For NYH, furniture is the ultimate vehicle for our mission of maximizing the value of underutilized Trees to conserve healthy forests. Our intentional process paired with quality design results in lasting products that people will love for generations.

We created this collection of timeless pieces in collaboration with our regional fabrication partner, Makers Accord, to spark our client’s imaginations and showcase what’s possible for us to make with you own beautiful wood. If interested in these designs and lacking trees to work with, we can source material from our vetted network of sustainable local mills to make you the furniture of your dreams.
