Agati’s mission is to be a high quality, furniture resource to architects, designers and clients through our design, engineering, and project management expertise. Each design is carefully considered for structure, strength, and durability. These elements are critical to a long product lifecycle and reduced landfill waste. We produce sustainable products by using renewable hardwood and other natural materials to meet the goals of green architecture.

Agati designs stand the test of time. Classic designs that do not cater to trends give products longer desirability. Clients are more likely to hold onto furniture for their life spans versus discarding and buying new because of outdated styles.

• Agati uses locally grown hardwoods, coming from responsibly managed forests. American hardwoods (oak, cherry, maple, walnut) are renewable resources.
• Chairs are engineered for superior lumbar support, patron comfort and long life, not ease of manufacturing.
• Parts are steam bent rather than machined out boards. More efficient use of product, results in less waste.
• Table and chair legs are cut out of wood bats instead of thicker pieces of lumber, which equates more efficient cuts of lumber and less waste.
• Table work surfaces are made out of Forbo Brand Linoleum, made from readily renewable natural Ingredients. Forbo offers independently done, peer-reviewed, full product Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) within the flooring industry. Both our Forbo and laminate vendors are Greenguard certified.
• Agati uses recycled steel and is able to provide a silver powdercoat, rather than chrome, reducing the amount of VOC's.
• Almost 95% of Agati shipments are blanket wrapped, cutting back on packaging and waste and allowing for re-use of blankets. Agati also utilizes “Just In Time” manufacturing which results in less storage, less waste and conserves resources
• Agati recycles its shavings back into scrap wood, again, meaning less waste.

Agati’s main building source is hardwoods, which is a sustainable solution for eco-effective design and building. According to the American Hardwood Manufacturers Association, nearly twice as much hardwood grows each year as is harvested in the US. Today’s hardwood volume is 90% larger than it was 50 years ago. Using hardwoods means almost every part of the log is used as lumber by-products, and finished products are re-useable, recyclable and biodegradable. Agati furniture is built to stand the test of time, and we stand by that statement with a ten year warranty. We believe our product will enhance the beauty of institutions for many years.
