At Mary Justice Designs sustainability has been a design priority for us in every aspect of our process. Our mission is to create multi-functional works-of-art that stand the test of time and preserve the resources and techniques of ancient craftsmanship. From our painting technique to the FSC wood we choose and our packaging materials, our conscious efforts in the use of eco-friendly and durable materials are ever-present.

Sourced from sustainable, certified farm plantations in Indonesia (*FSC-Certified) the mahogany and teak woods in our collections are the foundation for our fine art furniture for life. Our Italian Renaissance technique of painting on ‘‘gesso’’ is central to our mission of sustainability as this technique ensures our art pieces will last in perpetuity. Our pieces are imagined, designed and crafted to be passed down for generations to come.

Integral to this is our engagement with indigenous artists of Indonesia who we are collaborating with to keep their art and culture alive. By bringing the tales of the natural word into your home we aspire to “Enhance Your World” through this collaboration.

*Forest Stewardship Council Certification (FSC) ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. 

 Sustainable, custom-made packaging

Our sustainable packaging includes custom built storage boxes, purposefully designed to reduce the use of packaging materials and to be repurposed post-delivery.

We use 100% cotton bags and recycled tissue paper to wrap each individual item in our collection to ensure safe delivery with minimal waste.

materials and techniques

Our wood is sourced from Indonesian Forestry Certified mahogany and teak plantations. The wood we pick for our collections is kiln-dried offering protection against degradation ensuring durability and sustainability.
