These guys are really giving new meaning to the phrase “straight-outta Brooklyn!”
Brooklyn Farm Table not only builds extremely tasteful furniture, they do so using century-old wood that has been rescued from buildings in the five boroughs!
Ralph Gorham, founder of Brooklyn Farm Table initially used common and exotic woods to fabricate his tables, but as the construction boom exploded in New York City he noticed beautiful old wood that was being exposed for the first time. Ralph decided to preserve these grand old buildings by reclaiming their backbones, the aged beautiful wood, which ranges from Douglas Fir to long-leaf Heart Pine.
