Brooklyn’s Uhuru Design builds sustainable, functional furniture the old fashioned way – by hand. The company utilizes reclaimed, recycled and reused wood and materials in much of their work.

The Tocador vanity (above) is the shotgun wedding of a recycled cast-iron treadle sewing machine base – a nod to NYC’s  “sweatshop” past – plus a plush and polished cabinet that epitomizes luxury and leisure. The cabinet’s interior is created from reconstituted macassar ebony and features low voltage interior lights and detailed custom milled brass hardware. Available in custom sizes and finishes. Hand built to order.
