Grain is a design practice dedicated to social and environmental responsibility. Our work has grown and shifted over the years from practical solutions such as recyclable shower curtains, to developing sustainable income opportunities for weaving cooperatives in Guatemala, to designing heirloom quality furniture and objects from natural materials and finishes that you can trust to be clean and safe for your home and family. We limit ourselves to working with materials that are long-lasting, non-toxic, made using recycled content, made from well managed renewable resources and/or are reusable or recyclable at the end of their useful life. We also offer vegan options on all of our designs. In 2022, we became a certified B Corp.
