For three years, cabinetmaker Sean Gorham and designer Melissa Neist have been turning trees headed for the city mulch machine into one-of-a-kind pieces that are as gorgeous as they are eco-friendly. Most of their work is custom: in the showroom today is a 40-ft by 7-ft maple slab dining table rimmed with its original bark (40 by seven feet, $3,300), a queen-sized birch bedframe that separates into nine easy-to-snap together pieces ($2,900 for maple, $1,900 for pine) and an old growth pine and hemlock coffee table made from an 1833 pier that was torn down from the foot of Bathurst Street ($399). Expect to wait four to six weeks for your furniture, depending on product availability. If patience isn’t your virtue, pick up a beautifully veined 250-pound willow cube ($900) that took a year to air-dry or a hanging wall shelf constructed from glass and a piece of live edge maple (from $99–$150 depending on number of shelves). The shelves, by the way, are actually made from the waste left over from other items that they have constructed.
