EKLA HOME has transformed the practice of furniture manufacturing by removing dangerous toxins from their practice.

Their line beautifully combines FSC Certified Poplar, natural rubber, 100% organic cotton grown and milled in the United States, Low VOC stains, and non-toxic water-based glues to create timeless pieces designed to last a lifetime.

EKLA HOME brings peace of mind to every piece you have in mind.
