About Burrow

Burrow makes clever, uncompromising furniture for modern life at home. Founded by Kabeer Chopra and Stephen Kuhl, Burrow first launched as a modular sofa brand, offering unique, mid-century and contemporary modular seating that was super customizable. Over the past couple of years Burrow has expanded its focus and now offers a range of furniture for your life and living room.

Burrow’s modular furniture offers customization opportunities ranging from fabric color to leg style and even arm height. And its modular design means that all pieces can be shipped in regular boxes helping to save money on shipping and ease of delivery (no more wresting fully assembled sofas around tight corners). Its furniture is also simple to assemble and can be constructed without the need for tools.

Burrow Product Ranges

Seating

Best known for its modular seating, Burrow offers a wide range of fully customizable sofas and loveseats, sectionals, armchairs and ottomans. Its Nomad Sofa can also be transformed into a sleeper with the brand's Sleep Kit.

The modular design of Burrow's seating means that each piece can adapt to your environment as you rearrange rooms or move home — making a change to your furniture is as simple as ordering another module. Burrow’s products also feature clever features, such as a USB-charger to help make your life that little bit easier.

Storage

A little storage can go a long way. Burrow now offers a range of wall shelves and credenzas to help you make the most of your space. Its Index wall shelving system is modular and extremely versatile (prices start at $325). Each shelving unit can be used horizontally or vertically depending on your space, and a set of three simple shelves can turn into full-wall bookcase. The Index is available in walnut, oak and white finishes and is crafted from Solid Ash (hardwood).

Burrow's credenzas offer you more storage room — and the opportunity to store things out of sight. They can comfortably carry TVs up to 65” diagonally, and feature two machine-drilled openings (for all of your cables) and adjustable-height shelves. Credenzas start at $775.

Tables and Benches

Burrow's mid-century Modern design coffee tables, side tables, and benches are were created to compliment its seating. Ranging from $295-$495, these beautifully designed pieces come in walnut and oak finishes. And just like its seating, they are easy to assemble and can be put together tool-free.

Materials and Manufacturing

Burrow has a strong focus on sustainability to ensure its couches are as good for the planet as they are for your Netflix binges. All wood used for Burrow sofas is grown on U.S. soil, mostly in Mississippi and Louisiana and each wood supplier is also certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the American Tree Farm System (ATFS) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

Burrow also goes beyond the industry standards for synthetic stuffing by squashing harmful chemicals from its cushions and its fabrics are made from a material called olefin, which is comprised from upcycled polymers and are naturally stain-resistant.

About Floyd

Floyd started out as a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2015, raising 14 times their initial goal. Its founders believed that furniture simply wasn’t built with modern living in mind — it was difficult to buy, assemble, and move. Its first project was a steel leg that could be used to turn any surface into a table. And now Floyd sells a range of simple-to-build products from beds and sofas to tables and shelves. All of its products are designed to last and be easy to assemble and disassemble.

Started in 1997, Blu Dot was founded with the goal to bring good design to as many people as possible. After graduating college friends Maurice Blanks and John Christakos were looking for modern home furnishings and found that the things they could afford they didn't like, and the things they liked they couldn't afford. The pair teamed up with Charlie Lazor to start Blu Dot to craft modern furnishings at affordable prices.

Blu Dot operates out of a studio in Minneapolis, and everything it makes and sells is designed in this studio. It also has retail stores across the US in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis.
