Custom Furniture Education

Miami homeowners are increasingly looking for eco-friendly, non-toxic furniture that supports both wellness and sustainability. At Candace & Basil, we build custom sofas and beds in-house using safer, certified materials — so your home is as healthy as it is stylish.

Sustainable Materials We Use

  • FSC-Certified Hardwood: Responsibly sourced lumber for sofa and bed frames.

  • CertiPUR-US® Foam: Free from harmful flame retardants, heavy metals, and formaldehyde.

  • Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Fabrics: Textiles tested to be free from harmful chemicals.

  • Non-Toxic Adhesives: Low-VOC, OTC-compliant bonding agents.

Why This Matters in Miami

  • High humidity makes indoor air quality critical.

  • Homes with kids and pets need safe, easy-to-clean fabrics.

  • Eco-conscious buyers want heirloom-quality furniture that reduces waste.

Designed to Last a Lifetime

Sustainability also means longevity. Our in-house construction — kiln-dried hardwood frames, premium suspensions, high-performance fabrics — ensures your furniture won’t need replacing every few years, reducing environmental impact.

Choosing Candace & Basil means investing in your health, your home, and the planet.
