We are thrilled to be featured in Vineyard Style Magazine, http://vineyardstyle.com/marthas-vineyard.php/6/Eco-Friendly-Furniture-From-The-Martha%E2%80%99s-Vineyard-Furniture-Company

"Relaxed and Reclaimed – Martha’s Vineyard Furniture Co."

We are very excited to share a write up on our company by Theinteriorevolution.com, http://www.theinteriorevolution.com/archives/2375, with a focus on our agrarian green collection, which is made of beautiful reclaimed barn boards, all pieces are unique and no two tables will look exactly the same. We couldn't agree more that Martha's Vineyard is so much more than a tourist destination, we love it so much that we have named each piece of furniture after a favorite island destination. We are looking forward to meet you at our Interior Studio in Vineyard Haven or on the web, http://www.mvfurnitureco.com/

NEW senge tables

We're excited to introduce you to two new tables in our many shades of green line. Both are inspired by beautiful Sengekontacket (or Senge for short) Pond on Martha's Vineyard. Senge Pond is a coastal pond that is sandwiched between Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. It's nestled landward of the popular Joseph Sylvia State Beach and stretches 2.5 miles in length with sandbars and salt marshes running along the shore. Senge provides a relaxing retreat for kayakers and is an important nesting spot for many Vineyard shorebirds.

We love the strong lines of our new coordinating Senge Cocktail Table and Senge Side Table. Available in water-based ZERO VOC paint in 30 colors inspired by the Island.
