J. Persing

The Gotham rocker by J. Persing is a very nice design and very environmentally friendly, with all the pieces coming from either surplus or renewable materials. The webbing is actually surplus seat belts from the automotive industry.

J. Persing's mission is to transform the public’s concept of what furniture can be, by demonstrating a deeper understanding of beauty, using environmentally friendly materials, all within an affordable envelope. The furniture made is largely Ply-bent, a relatively new medium whose esthetics have been explored by a mere handful of designers. Ply-bent furniture is the perfect sustainable material because veneer yields 8-10 times more usable wood from a log of lumber than solid lumber.
