Little Tree Furniture: Ethical & Eco-Friendly

Little Tree Furniture is a family-run business based on the South Coast of England in East Sussex. The company specialises in the creation of beautiful handmade hardwood pieces of furniture for inside and outside the home. The  materials that are used in the creation of the pieces are mostly hardwoods that are chosen for quality, durability and solidity.Where possible the materials are also reclaimed and recycled.

The concept for Little Tree was born in India where founder Neil Buckley Jensen worked, lived and travelled before returning to the UK to raise a family.  Consequently, many of the exotic hardwoods used in the pieces originate in India as do many of the highly skilled master craftsmen who create the furniture.

Mary Rose is the new range from Little Tree that got its nautical name from the fact that most of the hardwood used to create the colourful items comes from reclaimed sea-boat timbers.  Some of the wood is over 150 years old and much of it still bears its natural colourings and markings. Some of the pieces in the range also feature slatted doors, which have been reclaimed from old window shutters and bought back to life to form doors within the furniture design. What do you reckon?
